Looking to buy a used Dinoplex for my 1982 400i. Anyone have a spare for sale? Howard Musolf 1981 308gtsi 1982 400i Cabriolet 1988 Lotus Esprit Turbo
The car I purchased had sporadic starting problems which where resolved by installing an MSD and supplying +12 VDC a bit different than stock. I've experienced a few electrical " gremlins " which could have been the starting problems Vs. the Dinoplex. Regardless, I'm quite content with the MSD and you are welcome to my old Dinoplex. It could very well be defective, but it's free ! PM me if you are interested .
Starting problems are rarely indicating a defect of a AEC104B-660, but rather point to a partially broken VR sensor or defective VR sensor wiring/corroded contacts between the VR sensor and the AEC104B. If the AEC104B-660 ran well at high RPMs even after the engine compartment heated up then chances are quite good that the AEC104B-600 is ok!
