nick jenkins Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 GT40 ford 302w, running link plus computer, using 4 link ignitors and 8 bosch coils over the last few days starting has been poor with a few back fires then it losses spark to 6 of the 8 cylinders. Has any body had this problem and how did you fix it or what was the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted March 4, 2011 Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 I would start by checking all the grounds to the ecu and igniters. Next step is likely going to be to get the Igniters and ECU checked out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick jenkins Posted March 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 Hi Simon, I found the problem, when it was last tuned the turner only saved the data once on the hand held. then the battery got low 12.4V although it would wind over fine there wasn't enough in battery to kick the ingnition ect and the plugs fowled and it was all down hill from there. the battery is one of those calcium and same as sealed ones and they are a little different than a std battery, it looks like they need an alternator that puts out 14.6 plus volts to keep on top of them other wise once they start to full it only gets worse and you end up in this sinerio. can you comment on this? as I have been to the battery produces with little successe. Nick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 Not something I have come across before. Well as far as the battery type goes. However different battery types certainly require different charging methods. Just have no idea what is required for a calcium based one.
