Good point, I think contact with a test house may be needed for some advice.

Quite, it seems that people are leaving themselves open to trouble by ignoring these rules. I however brought this up in the first place due to a UK company supplying components for FM broadcast who were just taken to court and fined £10,000 for lack of RTTE/CE compliance, with £90,000 costs (that...

To add even more to this, its opens up a gaping hole really in the importation of any in car electronics (since the responsibility once within the EU will lie with the person/company importing the goods.) It appears that no one is aware of bothers to comply with this, for even items such as Apexi ec...

It seems that the "e" mark would apply to NIStune rather than the CE mark. The Automotive EMC directive Summary The Automotive EMC Directive is a CE marking Directive that requires manufacturers to gain type approval for all vehicles and electronic sub assemblies, components and separate t...

This is good news. So it appears as if WEEE compliance is not necessary. RoHS I was not worried about as I had looked into this before the regs came in. When I get a chance I shall make some enquiries as to the specifics on the WEEE directive just to have it as documented proof, but it seems at leas...

You dont need ROHS compliance for car automotive electronics IIRC. ECU's etc are exempt (for obvious reasons)

I'm 99% sure that's the case.

PCB recycling and WEEE compliance

Matt, In the UK (and I believe Europe) anyone who imports/distributes "Electrical and Electronic Equipment" must comply with the WEEE directive. http://www.weeecare.com/documents/The%20Rules%20for%20WEEE.pdf [quote] You must: • ensure that EEE you put onto the UK market is marked with a ...

Hey Ed, We are getting a lot of reversion through the air flow meter on decel, (measured with scope) but was hoping that the ECU would dis regard any signals from the AFM when the throttle is shut and RPM above fuel recover rpm. This I have had too, In the cases where its been a problem moving the ...

There is of course another option. Move the maf to a blow through design. I have done this with an SR20. It worked very well.

Is the new AFM too near the turbo and thus causing problems? Are the AFM voltages stable under with the throttle shut?

I agree with the above I didn't see the topic title before I replied. If you change a pump and the AFR's go mad then the regulator or return line cannot cope with the extra rate of flow of fuel.
