Classic shoot myself in the foot error when I put a gen 3 3sge into my AA63 Carina
Wrongly connected the ECU wire that monitors if the starter motor is running (wrong connector on the ignition switch)
ECU retards timing during starting - I connected it to constant 12v so ECU retarded timing permanently.
Idled fine but had no power.
I used to think that the orange and green tictacs gave you special powers. The orange ones would make you stronger and the green ones would make you faster. So i used to eat some green ones and run around my lounge as fast as i could, then eat the orange ones and try to pick up the sofa. I wish it were true!
