The MegaSquirt Project has experienced explosive growth other the years, with hundreds of new MS installations occurring every week - a phenomenal success! MegaSquirt has been successfully used in all aspects of Internal Combustion engine applications including R&D, Industry, Race, and Research. The MS project has transformed itself from a simple R&D project into a full-featured mature engine control system. To reflect this the support structure has also changed to meet the needs of MegaSquirt Users.
Moving forward, the R&D forums for MegaSquirt project are in a read-only mode - no new forum posts are accepted.
However the forums will remain available for view, they still contain a wealth of information on how MegaSquirt works, how it is installed and used. Feel free to search the forums for information, facts, and overview.While the R&D forum traffic has slowed in recent years, this is not at all a reflection of Megasquirt users, which continue to grow year after year. What has changed is that the method of MegaSquirt support today has rapidly moved to Facebook, this is where the vast majority of interaction is happening now. For those not on Facebook the msextra forums is another place for product support. Finally, for product selection assistance, all of the MegaSquirt vendors are there to help you select a system, along with all of the required pieces to make it complete.
I have searched both the FAQs and here on the forum, but can't find an answer:
For UK cars, where is the EDIS module located on donor vehicles - Fiesta and Mondeo seem to most popular in my local scrap yard?
I can find the coil pack and the VR sensor is easier to remove from a Fiesta, but I haven't been able to trace the wiring through the bulkhead to the module itself.
I think you need slightly older cars, Escorts etc. and it's usually in the engine bay I believe. There are pictures on the MS'n'EDIS website under "finding EDIS europe" I think.
If you're tracing wire through the bulkhead into the car, you probably won't find it. On US Fords, the EDIS module is mounted under the hood near the fuse box, usually on the left side fender. If you're trying to find it by tracing wires, the coil feed wires and the crankshaft position sensor wire go directly to it.
Find one on eBay to get a picture of what it looks like. Shouldn't be hard to locate.
Interesting to see on the pics page, in the Mondeo, the EDIS module is shown on the bulkhead in the engine bay.
I am reasonably sure in the couple of Mondeos I looked at, it wasn't there - the cable from the coil pack went through the bulkhead. I'll have to have a look at ther weekend.
I read somehere that on mondeos Edis is integrated into ECU, thats why you can't find one. Most escorts have it... get it from there. I got mine from 1.6 EFI 92 make escort.
That's very generous. The "project" has slowed a bit (for which read stopped, cos lots of other things got in the way, not the least being badly damaging the rally car, which was where it was going to be fitted).
Let me know how much the postage is going to be and we'll sort something out.
