Drill a hole and tap a screw, or just move your accelerator cable clip 1 up

Re: Mp9 coil dicktator and distributor setup connection
I moved the cable clip up car idles now but very low like on 800rpm and it sounds like its going to die but doesnt it cant move up anymore so will it be better to tap the hole or put something place that throttle doenst close the whole way i want car to idle on 1000rpm if i keep the throttle open by hand on 1000rpm it sounds 100%

Re: Mp9 coil dicktator and distributor setup connection
Sounds like the coil got fried - what did you set your dwell to (mS)?

Re: Mp9 coil dicktator and distributor setup connection
How long in milli secs the coil charges for. Its on the setup screen, should be around 2.5 to 3 on a standard coil

If you look on the Main Setup screen on the Dicktator, on the right side of the screen will be a value for 'Charge Time'. If this value is too high you will oversaturate the coil and it will burn - value should be around 3mS or less...

Re: Mp9 coil dicktator and distributor setup connection
That will be fine, maybe check your wiring to see if it's not touching somewhere (to burn an earth connection it must touch +12V)mk1strand wrote:Its on 2.750 is that correct trigger angel is at 38

Re: Mp9 coil dicktator and distributor setup connection

Re: Mp9 coil dicktator and distributor setup connection
That means that the problem existed in the coil at that moment - a short circuit through the coil.mk1strand wrote:Its from the coil directly to a eart on the motor not touching anywhere else its all closed neatly with heat shrink
