MY 1.7 16v boxer was a -spin-splutter-splutter kind of starter which would often stall a couple of times before finally running reliably.
It always had a stumbly tickover.
Pick-up from tickover required a sensitive foot if it wasn't to bog.
My reason for fitting MJLJ were reliability, economy, waterproofness and the ability to run separate curves for differant octane premium petrol.
Apart from fitting Carbs/Megajolt/EDIS, I have changed the plugs and leads. That's it.
Post MJLJ:
1. Starting: After turning the engine over TWICE it burst into life.
2. Tickover: Smooth, steady and reliable.
3. Pick-up off idle: Brilliant! then it really picks up fast.
4. Timing: With EDIS in limp-home mode it's rock-solid 10deg advance, with MJLJ plugged in there is a smoooth advance curve.
5. Great fuel economy when cruising
To say that I am pleased is an understatement.
