non osf technical question

[Rick]

how the feck do you adjust the timning on a 1.1 fuel injected fiat engine

 

instead of a dizzy i have what looks like two transformers stuck together with 2 leads off each...

 

i cant see any means of adjusting the thing?

[Vista]

That sounds like a coil pack, and sorry I've no idea

[Burns]

if it's injected, won't it be an ecu?

[Rick]

yep burns your right,. stupid modern junk

[Burns]

surely you'd have to plug it in then?

[Rick]

s'ok mate its the wierd carb thats playing up as the timing is all electronic.

 

just needs advancing slightly it cuts out when the revs drop after a thrashing. just getting annoyed having to keep starting it up again at 60mph

Scrap it

[Slik 50]

Its a SPI unit not a carb and they are notorious for f**king up

[Rick]

its ok im managing to drive it ok. i just have to keep the revs above 10k lol so no coasting

 

il just keep thrashing the tits off it til the escorts done or i find a nice cheap van

U need an idle speed control valve. You may get away with just cleaning out the throttle body and valve. If u need any parts I break all fiats daily

[Rick]

no idea what that is mate but il have a look when i get 5

 

iv aslo heard that theres a way of fitting a rocker shaft instead of those non-adjustable hydraulic tappet things

 

any ideas?
