Benjamin Julian Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 I have a ca18det in my datson 1200 and ive got the link wired up and all. Just with the spark part i go to the igniter and i get less power coming out then going in because i get no spark at all the charge is so low. and yes there is 5 volts going in which is required. so its broken i got told. So was wondering is it possible to set up some sort of sparking system with out an igniter on my ca18 run off my link. Cause im finding it real hard to get another igniter. Thanks for your time.

ashesman Posted November 19, 2006 Report Share Posted November 19, 2006 The ECU can not drive a coil directly. You must drive the coils through an igniter. You can use various igniters, but the safest option is to replace the 4 channel CA18 igniter. Otherwise buy a Link igniter and use that.

Benjamin Julian Posted November 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2006 I was running an igniter. The standard ca18det factory one. And i still have no spark? Im lost. Thanks for your help though by the way. Also why is it when i plug my link into the computer to tune it i dont have alot of options it says i do in the link tuning manual. For instace on the lemv5 tuning module menu under ignition heading i can only see on the computer screen the option zone ignition i think it ws. I cant seem to find the other options like dwell etc. Its the same for other options to. I can only view a few options and can hardly edit anything. Am i missing something there that will stop the spark. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashesman Posted November 26, 2006 Report Share Posted November 26, 2006 Are you running PCLink V2.5. Later versions of PCLink stopped supporting the LEM ECU and will cause unpredictable behaviour (link things not becoming visible). PCLink should allow you to adjust everything the tuning module does!

ashesman Posted November 28, 2006 Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 Good call, still not sure what is going on with your PCLink... like I said, make sure you downloaded V2.5, not V3.xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
