Here is the nearly complete install. I say nearly because I'm sure I will be updating this on an ongoing basis.

On mobile, this is best viewed in the Imgur app,...

Thanks. It wasn't the coil. :/ I swapped it, then started rejoicing when the idle was cleared up and I was able to do a lot of stop/starts without any issue. It was literally when typing out the word...

I installed the luggage rack option so that I could do this...

Sinclair C5 on DMC-12. Two Lotus chassis for the price of one.

Before anyone asks... yes it's well within the weight restrictions...

Replaced a burned connector (the white/grey wire) on the coil, and found that it was also very loose. Replaced, snugged it up, and of course it's still exactly the same, lol. I have a tach connected...

Aha. I did have some slightly melty wire insulation near the top of the coil. Everything seemed sound, though.

I'm going to go after the coil right away, but since I already put this together,...

You can only hear the issue. It's a seemingly completely random fluctuation, not all all like seeking. I'm editing together an updated video with some driving. Should illustrate things better.
...

It wouldn't be like me to find an issue that is causing a symptom so I'm sure you are right... It likely wasn't working and was tuned to run open loop without bothering to physically disconnect...

Well, I thought it was buzzing all along, but it turned out to be the idle speed regulator humming!

I can't seem to get it to buzz by turning key to 2. Zero voltage going to either pin on its...

Thanks. I removed and inspected all of the bulkhead connectors and they are all super clean and tight, with the exception of the aforementioned frequency valve connector, which had female sockets...

Removed, visually inspected each fuse and socket, and tested each fuse as good.

The Lambda ECU connector is getting power.

Thanks. Justin from Wells Auto also felt this could be the culprit. I've checked it and the connector that it leads to a couple inches back, but I'm wondering if it is disrupted somewhere further...

Thanks for the reply. Yup, I checked the pins when I did the swap (with new lambda specific relay). No effect after changing it. Tempted to change it back to remove that variable, but the old one is...

Had to repost this thread, because the first one I posted is throwing a 403 error.

Hi. I'm scratching my head a bit on this one (but admittedly that doesn't take much).

11633 suddenly started...

Wow, thanks, this is exactly what I was looking for re the headlights!

The thing is, I'm forgetful, and will leave them on in a parking lot. It takes just as much to remember to use the master switch... which would also kill the memory in my stereo. I do have one to...

Oops, I should have mentioned... I'm not a fan of LEDs in older tech. No matter the colour temp, it just "feels" wrong to me. I painstakingly replace all the "upgraded" LEDs from pinball machines...

Hi. I'm planning to install a small battery pack (one of those little car boosters), which will charge from the car when it is running. The main purpose for this battery (apart from any emergency...

Thanks. Will check these. It's always hard to check when it's happening because I'm getting soaked and trying to move the damn car, lol!

11633 has been out when rain started a couple of times. Both times (including about 15 minutes ago) it is incredibly difficult to get it started. This time I actually ran out of juice from cranking...

Well, just as mysteriously as it arose, it went away. I haven't been able to reproduce the problem in days. I wish this comforted me, but of course I'll just be waiting for it to rear its ugly head...

Hello. Like a total moron, during a house move I accidentally left 11633's driver door open in an outdoor car shelter, got distracted, and did not return to it until the next day. In the meantime, a...

Aaaaand #3133 has moved on, beginning yet another new chapter in its long and complicated life. This time, she will ride again. Wells Auto has acquired 3133 and I have every confidence they will...

Just testing to see if my account is just a figment of my imagination or not. Admins say my account does not exist.

Haha. Thanks, Dave. You're right, great design!!

Hello. Aside from the troublesome #3133, I have #11633, which runs perfectly and is in great shape... BUT, there is a battery drain issue. It takes just a few days for the battery to drain to the...
