Its on my shopping list for my next project But never used emerald. Wired lotts of other brands.

Whats the problem ? You will need more info of what its doing and not.

i just need an emerald expert if theres any mappers out there! to do with the ignition drivers and trigger patterns

I have the K6 installed on mine. When I first installed it I had a few problems getting it to fire up. I rang Dave Walker at Emerald (although I didn't buy direct from him) and he emailed me a map to get it running. It fired up on that and ran ok.

Have you rang Dave?

going to ring him tomo tho they supplied a base map when i bought it what engine are you running? the strange thing is
mines 24-2 and only 22-1 is listed. now they said if i select 22-1 it would actually be 24-2!?? sounds a bit random. when i fire it it just spits back and coughs then fuels up as if the timings out

also theres no options for where it picks up leading or trailing edge of the pick up

im actually contemplating taking it to him then i can just collect it finished!

My setup up is a 2.0L Zetec on Jenveys. Is your timing 180 degrees out? I've seen that before?

needforspeed - 25/1/12 at 10:09 PM

ive tried changing them round on the ignition driver page? its so close to going

Nash - 25/1/12 at 10:12 PM

Do you have enough juice in the battery? May be a silly question but I had a problem. Also when turning it over do you get a red / green pulsing light on the side of the ECU?

yep its all correct its definately down to a setting or them giveing me a bum steer with the trigger pattern. but they seem to have an exeptional rep

Nash - 25/1/12 at 10:21 PM

This is my car on the rollers at Emerald last Jan after the install. Thats Dave in the drivers seat doing his thing. It is a thing of beauty to watch AND what a difference. Stick with it and you will find something obvious I'm sure.

Get a bog std timing light and check it's firing at the right time with regards to TDC. That'd be your first port of call IMHO

What was it? It may save someone else grief!

simple as the trigger wheel id worket it out for the leading edge rather than the trailing edge of the missing teeth, funnily enough i had tried the number before just incase but didnt work! :-/ anyway sorted now thank goodness had a play and is running sweet first drive in a few weeks then mapping!
