Piggyback / timing issue

Post by coyoteboy »

Having paused work on my daughterboard for the moment I was considering just going ahead with the piggyback idea for fueling for the time being. But then i struck a problem. I'm fitting it to a 3sgte which has a flapper AFM for fuelling (which i was obviously trying to remove). If I remove this will the stock ECU have no idea about engine load and thus not be able to set the timing correctly?

If you are retaining the ECU to control Ignition Timing ,
Yes ,
you must keep the Flapper in place .

You can still use MS with the Flapper in place but it does create some
air flow restriction .

Should have updated this thread really :) Sorry! Its running now, seems OK except its holding the idle open when the MS has the injectors for some reason. Thread if youre interested...:
