  1. Jay, doesn't your car have a knock control unit fitted? (dr. side inner fender) The wires to the coil come from it. Sorry I do not have an EA81T-- yet.
  2. NV, the ashtray is on the far side of the dash on a Brat NOW the passenger may push it in - and then say "WhadIdu??" The blank for the Passing light is an easy to get to one, nice idea. I could use a lighted push pull like the orig, make it easy to find at night. I have read where some guys change the entire col. just to change an ig switch. Guess thats where I got the idea it was a tuff nut to crack.
  3. Ed did the locksmith work on the lock or make you a new key? I gave thought to going to a dealer and getting a fresh key from the number made, is that not an option? Zeno - no offense taken mate. I thought getting the cyl out was a PITA? It looks like it is? The toggle switch I put in is a kind of theft deterent, am thinking of using a micro switch behind the ash tray It will inturn control a relay to turn the ig off and on ashtray out - run push in - off Now that seems like a lot of trouble -eh! Please note: I tend to loose things - like keys, wallet, my mind ect.
  4. Stupid, (sorry don't know your real name) when I put my latest turbo back in, I had the same problem. Turned out the injectors just needed the air bled out of the lines. I just kept starting it with the method you used and on about the fifth try one injector started then the next - did get it running on three cyl and test drove it, then number four started. The injectors use a negative voltage (i.e. ground) pulse to open them, so they should show voltage on one wire when cranking. Hope this helps
  5. http://www.millsupply.com Our unibody cars also use the rocker box (outside rocker panel and inside cover) as part of the "frame". These must be inspected also But I have seen Roo's used as "boneyard runabouts" that are rusted beyond belief. They haul all sorts of stuff with them over some serious terain, and have never seen one broken in half. Doesn't mean they are road safe but.....
  6. Tom, mine worked when I pulled it out about 0.125" then turned until today Chris, thanks, mon I may have a look will email you if I decide to do the nasty Joh, yes suby ig switches are known for having problems EA81's go like outlined EA82's have contact problems in the start position
  7. Well my Brat "Snow Worries" has been getting harder and harder to turn to the OFF position. Today it refused to turn. In advance of this problem I removed the lower panel under the steering col. and put in a toggle switch. I am not going to change the lock. I would like to find an original blank and will get the key number off the pass side lock but until then I put the toggle switch on the white feed wire to the pink main igniton connector under the col. Where do I hide my not so secret switch?
