Re: [DML] Frequency Valve Voltage

[Martin Gutkowski <webmaster@xxxx>]

Hi Eric

While trying to troubleshoot my problems last week, the frequency valve was one of the
things I looked at. Having a "spare" DeLorean next to mine made this sort of thing
beautifully simple :-)

One of the things I did was put 12v across the valve and check that it clicked. With no
voltage, there's no flow through the valve (was blowing air through it), with 12v across
the terminals, air flowed (slightly).

Therefore the signal is generated elsewhere - I would be very surprised if it doesn't run
on 12V and certainly 0.5v sounds very low - who can confirm? It sounds like you're using
the scope correctly - if you can wait for a week or two, we'll scope up the signal on
mine.

(disclaimers apply!)

All the best
