Is this something that could go wrong in an EF engine? could this be why mine has a slight miss on light throttle?

EA-ED = DISTRIBUTORS
EF = EDIS (Electronic Distributorless Ignition System) = COILS = EF Engine Computer EL = DISTRIBUTORS = EL Engine Computer will run a BroadBandManifold on your EA-ED (work out what to do with smartlock in earlier version... There's info here...) AU = COILS - Not 100% sure, but think the EF computer will run an AU, although you may miss some function? AU2 or above is beyond the scope of my interest. Am hoping to put an AU into my EF one day, when it finally dies or gets too damn expensive to fix... This thread has been very helpful with the general knowledge of such. You know, I still get asked for DIZZY's and the like from my EF's by people who have EL's... When I say I don't have one and could they please tell me where to find one on a EF motor they get all abusive and tell me I must be on drugs or something. (They could be right, but even then I'd back myself to find a dizzy if it was attached to my EF block where the suspect AUX shafts lurk...).... |

BenJ Lol, yeah i know man, i just wasn't sure if it happened in only dizzy fitted cars or not, so i guess i'm safe. Good luck fixing it troyman, the ED will thank you for it.

there is no logical explanation for it.. the only load on the shaft is the oil pump and dizzy.. here is a pic comparing a good shaft to a stuffed one...

I had this in an XD - cause in fact was a high volume oil pump.
The standard pumps work fine, and the additional load of a (High Volume) pump is just too much. Wears the Shaft, wears the dizzy gear. Last edited by Nigel on Fri Dec 05, 2008 7:06 am, edited 1 time in total. |

Got pics of the oil pump gear and dizzy drive gear Troy ???
I suspect differing wear rates on the gears. I can't really see the cam angle sensor and dizzy shafts having different reach lengths in the block, otherwise the block face what be machined differently, and AFAIK, EF and EL blocks are the same, only the cranks differ (someone correct me if I'm wrong).

thinking i will pull the dizzy and change the gear to the au idler/oil pump drive then should be au on au just in case they were mates for 100thousand ks with no troubles

but why would it cause a miss?
i would have thought it would eventually fail completely...but as long as the dizzy shaft is turning it shouldnt really cause a prob
