The MegaSquirt Project has experienced explosive growth other the years, with hundreds of new MS installations occurring every week - a phenomenal success! MegaSquirt has been successfully used in all aspects of Internal Combustion engine applications including R&D, Industry, Race, and Research. The MS project has transformed itself from a simple R&D project into a full-featured mature engine control system. To reflect this the support structure has also changed to meet the needs of MegaSquirt Users.
Moving forward, the R&D forums for MegaSquirt project are in a read-only mode - no new forum posts are accepted.
However the forums will remain available for view, they still contain a wealth of information on how MegaSquirt works, how it is installed and used. Feel free to search the forums for information, facts, and overview.While the R&D forum traffic has slowed in recent years, this is not at all a reflection of Megasquirt users, which continue to grow year after year. What has changed is that the method of MegaSquirt support today has rapidly moved to Facebook, this is where the vast majority of interaction is happening now. For those not on Facebook the msextra forums is another place for product support. Finally, for product selection assistance, all of the MegaSquirt vendors are there to help you select a system, along with all of the required pieces to make it complete.

Also I am looking into doing an Edis6 setup on a 4.3 vortec. I don't understand the wiring diagram, I have all the components, I think. The way I understand the Edis wiring diagram is the 12 pin thing is the edis ignition module, mine has 24 pins. Very confused, got my stuff from a late model Taurus 3.0 V6.
And what are the little cube things on the left of the 12 pin thing?
To add to the above, I think the shield you are asking about is just a metal "wrap" around a wire to help reduce noise in the signal that wire is carrying. On a VR sensor it is a good idea to use a twisted shielded pair for the wiring. The twist helps reduce the noise the two wires might cause to each other and the shield helps reduce the noise from other sources (any electrical wire or magnet near your wire). Keep in mind you only ground one end of the shield. Hope that helps
Thanks guys, you are very helpful! BUT, the edis6 module that I think I have has a different part number than the ones on the list. It is from a late 90s Taurus 3.0 v6 and it doesn't have 12 pins, it has 24 pins. I don't understand the wiring diagram. What is the 12 pin thingy? if it is the module than what do I do with the other 12 pins? Tie them into a pretty bow?
All of the EDIS modules have 12pins, and look like the above module, if you have a module that looks like a metal box with a large 24pin connector on it, you have a CCRM module, or Constant Control Relay Module. Although handy to have if you want to control a car with Megasquirt and need the relays, it won't work for EDIS.

Thank You,

AFAIK they are all mounted in the engine compartment somewhere, the location of the module is different depending on the year and model.
I know the taurus was limited as to EDIS6 availability, look on the explorers, rangers and aerostars, they most all had EDIS after 1991, the module is located behind the passenger side headlight.
I sound like a retard!
