Hi i have somewhat an unusual problem and was hopping that sum one here may be able to help me with.
At the moment i'm doing a project for school, I'm trying to convert a old carburetted daihatsu charade engine to efi. I'm using all the wiring, sensors, throttle body and ECU out of a EA CFI Falcon. See heres my problem, i have 2 sets of jumper leads, 1 crap and 1 good. When i use the crap leads the engine struggles to cranks over but i get spark, however when i use the good leads on the same battery the engine turns over fast but i dont get a spark. I have run a code diagnostic ont eh ecu and all i get is: Code Problem 52.........................................Power steering switch open 85.........................................Canister output circuit failure 87.........................................Fuel pump relay fault (im running this separately from ecu) If it helps the ECU is a: EEC-IV 0DCB CFI-SD153 90DA-12A650-CB So if anyone could help me to figure out why its not sparking, i would greatly applicate it. thanks |

The ignition module for the ford controls the timing up until 450RPM.
You should be able to disconnect the EEC completely and still get spark. If your EEC doesnt send a valid SPOUT signal the ignition module fires the coul on the falling edge of the distributor pickup's signal. |

Thanks for the information XCMUZ, i tired it and with the eec disconnected i dont get a spark, does this mean the TFI module isn't working?
