Daniel,
    To be honest, I'm struggling with electrical filtering theory myself, so
perhaps someone else could answer thet.

  sorry to ask why but i am a bit slow on that, i know that the ignition
coil would produces spikes in the electrical circuitry but i assumed that
the filtering should be done before the supply goes into the ecu board.

    Try a 470uf electrolytic cap. between ign. coil positive and gnd.

      Hi Al,
      thanks for the advice, I think i will place a capacitor in parallel
between the battery and the ecu board, probably use one of the spare
capacitors i have lying around, maybe 10uF.

        Daniel,
            I work for California Polytechnic State University.  Apart from
that, our EFI company is Injection Logic (www.injectionlogic.com) and
focuses on selling custom EFI system designs.  ECU6 and ECU7 are the result
of the research from the products we market.  I believe that cooperation is
the greatest way to increase knowledge and promote development, so I have
chosen to share most of the data on the systems we design.  The proprietary
information generally has to do with systems designed for a specific
application.  Even so, I try my best to use what I've learned from that work
to help people with questions.  I'm very glad to hear of your progress with
ECU6.  One caution, unless your vehicle's electrical system is VERY
noise-free, you will probably need some filtering on the power supply input,
or it may spontaneously reset (or report incorrect RPM, or fire the
injectors when it shouldn't).  Good luck!


                        Al

        P.S. Thanks for the update.
