what on earth is this ?

is it to do with Ecu ?
or the est of the cars electrics ?

I am fitting a standalone ecu so dont need half the factory stuff, it looks like something that could control the coils but not sure

its on the left hand side - above where the shock mounts

Please help

 

Charcoal cannister solenoid, something like that maybe?

 

It's the igniter for the coil pack - only found on 1.6 cars.

Leave it be otherwise you'll be rather short on sparks

 

bingo it is the ignitor

 

You weird 1.6'rs.

 

Its the ignitor. If you unbolt it from that bracket you can tuck it nicely begind the fuse box out of sight. Thats what I did. It also make for a good anti theft device, I remove it whenever im someone where unfamiliar for long periods.

ok so if going standalone I can bin it along with the other stuff !!!

yippeeeee

thanks for the info

 

Think again. Are you going COPs?

 

Planning to use VB92s to fire the coils?

 

Sounds like some fun threads to come......

 

3 bar it is essential to the working of the stock coils. unless you have another provision for coils then leave it where it is.

 

autronics with subaru coil on plug from sti
actually got 2 x miatas to do ! oneturbo - one v8 ! - one my own - the other a friends ! talk about trust ! and talk about a mess in the garage
I think I will need the wires as I think one drives the stock rev counter ?

 

I moved mine to under the dash (used one of the mounting holes to ty-wrap it to a bracket I found under there. All that charcoal canister stuff can be deleted for some nice engine bay cleanup and weight reduction.

 

unplug it and see if your car still runs?

 

Good luck with that.
