[Diy_efi] Re: Line Lock

[Dan Zorde]

I could be completely wrong here, so please jump in and correct.

With the system being designed to operate diagonally opposite wheels on
the car, my guess would be that if you start to swap the plumbing around
you would most likely create a system resulting in an unstable braking
system.  Presumably the system works on the principle of hard braking
causes the nose to dive and the rear to lift, rear locks up, you
transfer some of the braking power to the front.  If you swap the pipes
you'll just be transferring braking power from one locked up rear wheel
to another that may already be locked up as well, hence not much ABS
effect.  Better leave it alone and go for 2 line lock solenoids.

However I have a question regarding line locks on any ABS car.  For
instance on a 3 or 4 channel ABS system, wouldn't the ABS computer go
mental and pulse the ABS cylinders to death if it detects the front
wheels are locked and the rears are spinning ?
