E4me

Hey everyone, can you run an E4ME without the computer?

No, as the ECM isn't controlling the solenoid the primary rods will be in rich position all the time. But maybe as there are springs below the primary rods I think the rods will also go down when there is a high vacuum (lean condition needed) and when the vacuum drops (more fuel needed) the rods will go up letting past more fuel. But I should need to test that first to see if that works.

Greetings Peter

un plug it and tell us what you think.

As I have already installed my wideband air fuel ratio meter I think it's very interested to do so yes. I'll look if I have some time to test this tonight

Greetings Peter

Had some time today to do the test. First warmed up the engine, then a 10 minute "round" to test.
First for the wideband ratio meter. A 14.7 (air) to 1 (fuel) ratio is perfect (theoretical). But when cruising 16 to 17:1 is not a problem (leaner so to say) when on the choke or WOT between 11.5 to 12.5:1 is perfect.

With the ECM, cruising was between 15:1 and 16.5:1, WOT dropped to 12:1. The ECM tries to lean out the mixture to 16:1 is normal with a normal primary rods setup.

Without the ECM, idling between 11.5 and 12.5:1, WOT dropped to 10:1. The ratio never saw 13:1 but the engine was running fine just a little rich. (like when cold on the choke). So you can drive it without the ECM and I think if you turn down the rich mixture stop maybe you can drive it around 13 to 14:1 which isn't a problem
