so much easier leaving password set into lappy
Got some part numbers n stuff to add as a bit of an update, though at time of writing I personally can't vouch for fit or work as I am relying on others - posts around the internet.
Pretty sure the EDIS4 modules I have are from 2002 Ford Focus and 2001 Ford Mondeo - all getting a bit thin on the ground.
I found someone's parts list quoting ignition coil as FD487 as one to get. If my understanding is correct this is type 1 that trigger wheels in the UK refer to and suggest and supply. I have looked into this one. Is a coil pack for a 4 cylinder. Three pin socket on it. coil,power,coil
FD487 only seems to have been fitted to AU 5.0 litre V8 1998-2000 and from what I can find , is a GOSS C190 or Fuelmiser and Delphi CC240
Each coil tower appears squashed with an exterior rib to lock the HT lead on.
Ordering from the US I have used a 1996 Ford Crown Victoria 4.6l V8 as the reference to get this squashed looking coil tower "type 1" coil
The V8 uses two 4 pot coils. A wide choice of brands over there too, found HITACHI [ A$57 plus GST] and HELLA [A$50 + GST] .
I chose HELLA, should possibly have gone HITACHI to be loyal
I also ordered the VR sensor for crank angle sensor CAS for same - hoping it all works in harmony.
Lead set for same V8 to get the correct fitting right angled coil end boots. An Australian option for leads source could also likely be the Ford AU 5.0l 98-2000
As for the other coil likely in Sam's project pics - it looks to be also in our Ford Focus of 2002 with a Fuelmiser packaged, Delphi labeled coil CC239, which correlates to being a GOSS C220. This , I think is "type 2" trigger wheels refers to, smoke stack smooth coil towers with a male centre pin.
I thought I might have been able to source locally, a lead set from a 2002 Focus, as Repco offered the squat, ribbed tower coil as an alternative, but ....
ever noticed some shop staff seem to dislike helping people work out part sources for projects? Unlike a hardware joint where you can go in and play with various bits n pieces like lego bricks to see what works - disturb nobody. The vibe and prices sort of drive me online and overseas.
I bought a trigger wheel from trigger wheels in the UK, recommended me to get the one with half inch hole, rather than their ring gear style.
An old machinist mechanic skimmed the rear pulley V down square and flush to take the ring gear he made out of the wheel.
Oddcomp from USMB wished he made his ring gear an interference fit rather than loose as each time he welded it and found development problems, loose fit was no longer his choice. It was his discovery of welding a trigger wheel to the outer damper of the EA82 turbo harmonic balancer was not a good idea as it started to slip on its hub - causing timing of CAS and missing tooth to go out. He had to cut his weld, re-align, weld n go gain.
Interference fit , loctite might mean no weld.
Using Sam, Oddcomp and a few other online experiences and that of my machinist - the trigger wheel attaches to the hub of the harmonic damper to avoid problems should damper outer balancer slip or fail. Using trigger on a rubber mount may also play with sensor gap between trigger teeth and CAS
