The only thing that will happen is the EL ecu will throw error codes on the code reader for the things not connected at worst, but there is nothing that should affect the way the ECU performs or throw it into Limp Home Mode.

The j3 will stop it throwing error codes for things not needed by switching them off, that is all.
But the j3 is a good tuning tool for modified engines and to get nice fuel maps etc.

I will redo the base timing when I get my EL XR6 ecu and see how it goes, but I bet it runs sweet.
XH and EL ECUs are very similar.
My mate has an XH ecu in an XG and that goes fine and was just chucked in.

He runs locked timing at 30 degrees+ but because of the base timing being set up for the XG ecu at 10 degrees btdc, it is actually now 40 degrees+ advanced using the XH ecu.

This explains why he can only run 98 premium and cant wind in any more timing or it pings it's arse off.

The way I interpreted it is that you need the J3 to remove feature the EL computer runs that you don’t need on earlier cars. But hey, I don’t own an E series, so I clearly interpreted that wrong. 
Yes I read the information correctly. 
 

[mention=70]revhead[/mention] I believe if you buy the chip and tuner as a package they send you a blank chip to write your own tune. 
 
Mine came with the tune loaded to suit the engine specs I had given. Obviously they can’t get it 100% without having it on a dyno or a way to log the AFRs. 

I bought a j3 chip n programme for my EA, cost me $400, after I fitted it to my el ecu, it started n I can drive it, however when I msg ti performance, they said chip was sent with no tune, wtf did I pay for, I msgd them a Jason bolger emailed me back, I explained what had happened, he basically told me I need to buy a tune n download it myself, ffs

I couldn't make head nor tales of his emails actually,

I wanna do this to my XB... but I think a Territory front end might be easier to adapt if it doesn't make it sit too high

this looks interesting, but i have no idea what benefit is has.. 
[mention=43]Thom[/mention] probably has a clue though?

Nice work Revhead, that thing has had a lot of love, bet it's fun to pedal.

Ba front end is in

"its fixed n fxxk does it haul arse"  after an explanation like that Dave  he is probably out running the blue lights somewhere between borders from vic to qld on the covert 2020 run  haha             hmm maybe I should give him my outback to wake it up a bit 

was that a e bay e series dizzy

4 blocked injectors, its fixed n fxxk does it haul arse

I did this years ago, fitted a edlbrock an a 600 holley, tons more room, an u can still use your original tfi dizzy

Same ignition

same ignition switch?

 
 

Well it is badly cracked n I do have another perfect dash here I'm just swapping wiring an Lower plastics

Sent from my ATU-L22 using Tapatalk

i pulled the dash out,going the distance,go revhead

 
Yes I agree - not the solenoid, look further back into the circuit -
Dodgy relay, dodgy ignition switch, partially blown fuse, loose connection, etc.

 
High resistance connection somewhere in that circuit.
It will support a low load - ie test light, but not high current - ie, starter solenoid.

I'll have a look. I've added a few extra earth's to help.
My tacho freaks put when I turn the key as well. I might pull the dash out as it's split an check behind there as well

If the dizzy isn't getting power, then the ECU won't fire the injectors.
I'd be checking some powers and grounds in the engine bay personally.
 
You may have accidently blown a main fuse?

just a thought but did you bridge/join the inhibitor switch wires ? this used to be a trap when doing auto to manual on the older falcons, not sure if computer controlled or what in the EA....and maybe you wouldnt hear the relays go if they weren't joined ...i'm not sure on these "modern" cars....

thom will chime in soon with an answer ,but what about the computer maybe the 88 only works with auto,did you swap them.

Getting no spark no injector pulse even when I x the starter
But nothing when I turn the key.
Batteries fully charged, its all the original wiring an was working fine

Sent from my ATU-L22 using Tapatalk

I had an EA but never messed with the wiring. You say that the fuel pump is priming key "on", is there another relay for ignition as well? Are you getting injector signal? Is your computer earthed?

was it single point inj before

Hey guys. I've done the engine n gearbox swap from eb back to ea using 1988 EA engine harness, I've changed it from auto to manual. Using factory manual harness,

I don't have spark or a signal from ignition to starter.

Fuel pump is working, it's a 4.0 into a 88 ea, it should plug in an run

I've fitted new dizzy n coil. New leads

Now being a mechanic, I'm over looking something.

This car DOES NOT HAVE SMART LOCK.
