    James,

    Glad to see some more N9T enthusiasm up north!

    I must have missed your intro to the mailing list and quite a bit on your
    car, but if it's a 1985, it's an N9T, not N9TE. Injectors are high
    impedance, N9TE and EA are low impedance. ECUs are not interchangeable. What
    bosch # on your ECU? Did it have a processor and an eprom, or a pair of
    vertical ceramic boards hidden under 0 273 002 plastic thingies?

    Anyway back to your problem, the 6 flash on the N9T and N9TE(A) can only be
    one of two things. If you need to turn the car off to get rid of the
    flashing, then it's the pot sensor as you mentionned. In your case it's
    different, so it's the load signal from your injection box.

    In this case, considering you replaced a 12MOhms by a 10MOhms, that would be
    my guess. Which resistor number was it? 12MOhm is brown-red-blue. Also, is
    it blue, grey, red or beige in body color? If it's blue or grey, these are
    definitely precision metal film resistors, depending on the tolerance, they
    range from 0.05% to 2%. Gold ring is 5%, silver ring is 10%. The smaller
    reds are high precision. All others are 20% Those on risers are at the lower
    end of that spectrum and are matched. 10 MOhm is way off by these standards.
    I would get a 2MOhm and install the two in series. What you'd really want is
    to get a 12MOhm metal film resistor.

    I'd also be wary of any mylars on that signal path (capacitor, red). A few
    electros, but none are on that circuit.

    Ciao,
    Francois

    Subject: 85 Turbo Starts !! / Runs / Throws ECU codes

    While waiting for Jim Lill's Injection ECU to arrive (I agree Jim -
    should be here on Monday) I decided to take another look at the
    injection board I have..... under really, really close inspection I
    found an overheated resistor (12 megaohm) / scorched board etc...went to
    the local electronics store and found a suitable replacement (10
    megaohm) ..... and soldered it in.....

    The car started and ran so we went for a test run...... getting it on
    boost in the higher gears it accellerates fine then throws a 6 flash
    code (and backs off the timing temporarily causing the car to buck and
    snort a bit (this IS Calgary )).....then it runs fins again until I get
    into the boost..... same thing happens in the lower gears but too fast
    for me to catch the codes..... I think 6 flashes for an N9TE is either
    6a connection to potentiometer from ECU bad or 6b no load signal from
    injection ecu.... any thoughts / recommendations ?

    Thanks
    James
