greetings Eric et al,

sorry for the delay, nearly did not make it, a routine outpatient op went haywire landing me in ICU for a week!

I digress, so i have been laying in bed anxious to test new part Eric speedily shipped to me, (many Thanks to Eric!)
To catch some of you up, i have been trying to get this beast going for 9 months now. (new everything from valve cover gasket upwards) So having installed replacement MPS, i am cranking....cranking and Sigh to no avail, still nothing.

So i do not understand why i do not even get an attempt to fire, i have gas, spark and compression; the 'CPU' in this instance is not digital signal(or at least to my knowledge, all signaling looks to be analogue.)

Maybe one of our electronic engineers can opine, typically i have an engine light or code to work off for diagnosis but in this case i am completely lost. I wonder if any of our electronic engineers could read the diagram of the MPS and interpret which of the 4 prongs to short in order to get a firing condition.

I am still not quite well yet, but when i am later this week, i will check the timing again and put fresh gas in the tank. I do not think gas is bad yet, its about 6 weeks old and low in the tank - i just want to rule out completely before giving up on this thing.....

thanks in advance all,

Rob
