Hi guys, I've been reading and searching the forum for the past few days, and have gotten some great tips here, it seems like I'm so close to having the car running, but it just will not catch.

The car is a 1988 FC TurboII

- stock injectors
- stock turbo
- mild porting
- 3bar map sensor

Haltech E6K is being used

- Hitman 13BT oem map is used
- Prefabbed harness is being used. (Used before on another FC) (Verified pinout)

I installed the wiring/connectors
Connected to the ecu via laptop (windows98, COM1 serial 9 pin)
Loaded the Hitman map
Calibrated the oem TPS
Disabled injectors
Set lock timing to -5 BTDC (Angle was at 65 BTDC)
Took lead timing flashes from L1 coil
Could not get timing flashes from T1 or T2 coils.
Lined up marker. (New timing angle of 42 BTDC)
Enabled injectors

No fire.

HELP? Please it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

- Jay

 

Ok, first off, you say this is an 88 FC, are you using the stock TPS from the 88? or did you swap in an S5 throttle body so you could use the TPS from that? since the OEM S4 TPS wont work with the haltech, its only a switch that goes from 0-5v after about 30% of the throttle.

2nd, the HITman's OEM map is designed to run with the stock ignition system, ie. CAS, coils, igniters, this means that you have to connect the trailing coils in a certain way, and enable the Toggle select on the software for the Aux.Out wire.

This has been very well documented in numerous threads both here and on the Haltech forum. So your problem seems to be a wrong connection to the Trailing coils.

 

Thank you for the reply Claudio, I will first switch over to an S5 tps, a believe I have wired the trailing coils correctly. (Pink = Haltech Dig. Out 1) (White = Haltech bypass)

Will post results when I switch over to an S5 TPS.

Thanks again for the support.

 

Ok, but remember that the TPS has nothing to do with your trailing coils not firing, so there must be a wiring issue there, so make sure cover that properly before you try to start it again.
