anyone knows how to wire up a 8cyl tec2 to a 4cyl engine.
Well sounds dumb but my 4cyl tec2 took a crap. i got a hold of a 8cyl unit and was just wondering if it was possible to wire it up and make it work |

Easy.
Skip coils 2 and 4 and and injectors 2,4,6 and 8, which would be on the 90 degree based phases (use 1,3,5 and 7). The phases you want are 0,180,360 and 540 degrees. |

I just used the first 2 coils and the first two injector drivers. Was running semi-sequential and waste spark. Pull the 3rd and 4th coils off the base. _________________ '71 02 Granada |

The TEC-II 8 cyl. coils fire A-C-B-D. (0, 90, 180, 270)
This is caused by the TWO Hi REC chips needed.
The FOUR injector drivers fire 1-2-3-4. (0, 90, 180, 270)
BOTH ABOVE INCORRECT
THUS : A & B Coils, 1 & 3 Injector Drivers

I would suggest 0,90,180,270.
THUS : A & B Coils, 1 & 3 Injector Drivers are the correct intervals for a four cylinder engine. Yes, it will work.
