Look Sleeper, I appreciate you trying to help us with one of your QUASI-FUEL INJECTED offerings. But what we are essentially trying to do here is to install a pair of carb's onto the zetec with somthing to make the ignition work in an attempt to have a running engine WITHOUT a COMPUTER OF ANY SORT FOR FUEL CONTROL. Try to invision a Holley 4 BBL 600 CFM on the Zetec. Now if we could manipulate the factory ECU into controlling the ignition system without having control of the fuel injection we would keep it. But since we can't, it must go. Throw out the factory ecu, wiring etc. etc. In it's place drop a stand alone ignition computer that can operate the ignition without ANY OTHER computer in the car. Couple that with the Holley and I think you might understand a bit more. (Of course we are looking to use a pair of weber's instead of a 4 bbl!!) Simplicity. If it had a distributor, I would suggest a retro to a points style ignition with a single ignition coil.
There are those out there that would find a fall back to a mechanical everything under the hood appealing
. Fuel injection has brought a great number of successes along with it, but it has essentially locked you and I out of the mix unless we invest some large sum of money into purchasing electronic devices to allow us to monitor and modify what goes on under the hood. Now wouldn't you just rather save the $1000
you just spent for the laptop and the datalogging software and wideband O2 and just trade it in for a trusty 99 cent screw driver that allows you to essentially do the same thing?
