It's mine, it's affiliated... It's got a lot of new parts (cooling system, ignition system), but the clutch put the missus over the edge - will need clutch, flywheel, tob and guide tube. I now have...

I think it's time

Clutch is screaming for me to put it out of its misery. Squeals a little idling. Turns into a nasty loud squeal with the pedal pushed in. I'm thinking throw out bearing. Today it didn't want to go in...

ok, not the cam position sensor, not the coil, not a wire fault, not the DME. Outside of the main chip, I'm starting to run out of options. Anyone have a spare red label dme or spare dinan/turner...

I've swapped in a couple of different DMEs with the same result. I'm probably over thinking it. Seems the likely suspect is a cam position sensor. In seeing the damage to the DME from the original...

I thought the same at first - brand new coil - thought I might have gotten a bad one, to be sure, replaced under warranty - same issue.

Tested the crank position sensor - it was dead - now it runs, but on 3 cylinders. When the coil failed a few months ago, it shorted and fried the DME. Even after toasting the DME it ran - but on 3...

Did the pedal pump thing - no codes (it's a 95). Haven't checked fuel pressure. The no spark issue pretty much sent me a different direction. Wires were changed with new coil in January. Replacement...

Thanks - I think I'm down to a few things - bad coil, ews, maybe crank position sensor or a bad wire. The coil has a warranty, so I'll swap it out - thanks for the offer though. Problem started...

M42 not starting

After a big coil failure resulting in a new DME around January it ran and drove fine. After a few weeks noticed it would start randomly cutting out - always in higher rev ranges - 4500-5500. Happened...

At this point I don't think it's DME related. It was a bad coil pack that took out the previous DME - so that was replaced, along with plugs/wires. Would have thought fuel starvation would have been...

With the previous DME before it toasted, it would rev to at least 7k with the same dinan chip. I would have thought if I toasted the chip too it would be a work/no work thing. It sounds/feels like a...

That's weird - rev limiter

Put in a new (to me) DME, swapped in my dinan chip. Now I seem to have a 5500 rpm rev limit. Before the coil ate the old DME it would spin well beyond. Any ideas what's going on here?

Anyone have...

Just to be clear, 1-3-4-2 is firing order not physical numbering. #1 coil goes to #1 cyl. #2 coil to #2 cyl... both #1 cyl and #1 coil are towards the front of the car.
