bit worried about mine as well as 102db on sunday. I think I am going to fit the old exhaust to the car. Not the best looking but much bigger and should do the job.

PS Jeff got home plugged in the power commander and it worked????? not sure what to do but will look at a new one I think?

It will be a earth or live feed issue. Check both ....

What happened to it? They have a history of the terminals failing in the plug, the crimping to the terminals being poor or the terminals pushing out of the plug as you connect them. Usually it's the live or earth if the engine wouldn't run.

The car wouldn't start initially until Simon removed the Power Commander from the loom. We checked the pins on both plugs (as much as you can on an event) and they looked OK. Likely to be earth or live power feed as you say.

I have been thinking on this and the earth goes directly to the battery, but the master switch cuts the earth wire. my new painted chassis has a bolt through it the holds the metal engine mount and then the main chassis earth wire under the nut.
I have no clean metal earth apart from the bolt touching inside of the chassis? Will get home and put this right, then see how I get on.

I think that might be the problem! I had a strange anomaly in that without the master switch on I could turn the ignition switch on and one dash light would come on. I have just cleaned the chassis and fitted star washers and my random light has gone.
I must have had a bad earth and it was back feeding somehow through the loom to find an earth.
