link limp mode??

How about earths? I know dodgy earths can cause all sorts of issues.

Have you guys checked reported RPM against actual. If it's dropping triggers you should note a varying RPM (when actual is stable) and it might also read low.
The LEM's were always very picky in regards to voltage. Voltage too low and they would do a reset. It's not like a computer reset either, its almost instantaneous so you only get a stutter.

Why not run a log and post it for everyone to see?

.... have new fuel pump and fpr so will get those put it and re-tune .....

Change your fuel filter whole you are at it, they don't cost much

[Rivit]

oh yeah, done so many things cant remember them all changed already, didnt make any difference :/

problem was that the BRAND NEW coil i brought from ripco was stuffed, so swapped the new 1 i brought for the 86 in and it worked a treat.

BUT was driving it on tues night and it crapped out again same symptoms, is there any fault with wiring that could be killing coils??

[bluemaumau]

has anyone contacted link? this is pretty bad, its not just one or two cars it seems.

plus crampys situation is just weird, it shouldnt do that.

are you using distributor? check the triggers from there. i changed coil/plugs/leads/rotor+cap before i got to that point and found the problem, another dizzy sorted it straight away.
its actually pretty simple ignition wise once you break it down into bits and you know what the ECU is looking for as an input.

i'm sure link get loads of people calling them up blaming their products when a lot of the time it is unrelated faults etc.

yeah looks to be standard dizzy.

thing is i no absoloutely nothing about link comps.

i might try find a new dizzy then, cheers man

you dwell times maybe wrong if your frying coils

not doubting you but seems very very odd to me.

my understanding is once information is written onto a chip like that it is there forever or until magnetic forces remove or alter it etc.

Yeah it is odd.
I may need to explore other avenues first, just to see what the story is.
It doesn't really bother me too much though, as the car is getting a new intercooler and some other stuff cleaned up (and some other secret little plans ), so will be going in for a full retune once all that's done.
Might change the fuel pump as well, seeing as it's a factory one from what I've been told.

yeah, mine ran mint at one point, not long after original tune, packed up at about 11pm, woke up at 7am to drive 6hrs home and wouldn't start, called tuner, all the dwell settings had changed, but how? who knows

and had another one, can't remember, oh, it randomly one night turned the launch control on, which i hadn't run for ages, and since i got it tuned at speedsource, how? i dont know,

link also have no idea. both times my laptop never went near it only to fault find and fix it.

hmmm, curious.
I'm going to have to look through all of the settings on the Link when I get back home. It'll get a full retune pretty soon, so fr0m there i'll just save all the settings on the laptop and it'll live in my car.

dwell times??

setting for how long the coil charges.
