CwazyWabbit Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Isn't the EDIS module supposed to be bolted to something metal for heatsink purposes? I'm probably wrong as it's just something I vaguely remember reading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowie69 Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 As it is basically a glorified ignition amplifier, and all of them I have come across required a heatsink of some description, I would say yes. It has a metal back to it as well, and is designed to be mounted to bodywork, (not the engine!) so one can reasonably assume as they didn't rubberise it it was left metallic for a reason -heat loss.

Hybrid_From_Hell Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 ^^Good point, they are alwats mounted to a steel bracket on the standard cars..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanius Posted November 11, 2013 Author Share Posted November 11, 2013 oops explanation wasn't complete.I modified the weterproof box as I didn't had enough space where I had space to fit this.Made the cover out of an aluminium plate and there I mounted the edis module on.plate is 2mm and 15x 30cm, so think that isn't to bad?

Bowie69 Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 That sounds pretty good actually Guess you were just unlucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CwazyWabbit Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 It does sound pretty good, might be worth touching the plate after a days competition to see how warm it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanius Posted November 11, 2013 Author Share Posted November 11, 2013 Bowie, I always have that kind of "luck". If you says it can't break I will break it or it get damaged. Frustrating, but after all those years you"re getting used to it.CwazyWabbit, good idea, wil do this and put the result also over here!

Bowie69 Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 And the final question, do you have a spare one now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanius Posted November 11, 2013 Author Share Posted November 11, 2013 Bowie, not at the moment. As I just ordered 1 to test if I was correct, you never know ;-)So now I can have a look if I can find one over in Belgium if not I just have to sent an email to Nige to order 1.

alanius Posted December 23, 2013 Author Share Posted December 23, 2013 Me again with the EDIS problem. A while ago I said that it fired on all 8 plugs, it did as you felt the power. Now I wanted to change the plugs, didn't had the time to work further on it, and it fired again on only 6 plugs.... went a little grrrr.... SO tried the other (old) EDIS module and the same.Checked again the wire that goes to the coil pack and is responsible for those 2 cilinders, still fine! when I move the wire arround it still gives a signal. Then I took the papers you gave me to measure the voltage: Pin 8 - 9 - 11 is 13,45V Pin 12 isn't constant it oscillate between the 10 - 11V. So not good at all. Did the test with both EDIS modules and same result. WOuld it be possible that it is the plug that fits on the edis module that causes the problems?Maybe that caused the smell on the EDIS module and isn't the module broken after all? Thanks again!

FridgeFreezer Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 Can you measure the resistance of each coil pack; pin 1-2 and pin 2-3. Also check if the fault moves when you swap coils or swap coil wiring. If a coil has gone bad that could cause problems, possibly overloading the EDIS although they are quite robust.

Bowie69 Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 Perhaps also, the EDIS connector has issues, I.e. high resistance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
