Tracy,
Is this correct.
Coils 5A each normal
operations. 10A normal system load with a 18A surge? (2)
coils firing at same time.
Injectors 2A each normal
operations. 4A normal system load.

Yes, worst case running current, typical is less. Worst case
current surge on power-up is 9 amps (short pulse) but do not skip on breaker
size here. Always remember that breakers are for protecting the
WIRE, not the device. One of my closest calls was a breaker that
kept blowing in-flight because I didn't size it for worst-case
scenario. (I might not be here to tell the story if it had been a
fuse)
Tracy (finally installing 20B [again]. Tell Rusty
to stop laughing. Yes, you have to be nuts to install an alternative
engine.)

my notes say per coil, but I think that is a worst case
scenario.

Thanks Bill.
Is 5A per coil
or for 4 total coils?

Bobby,
I checked back in my notes from 2003, and here is
what I have:
EC2 - 0.25 amp
injectors - 2A average per
injector
coils - 5A max (LS-1)
I'm sure others will correct
me if this has changed.

Question for Tracy or others. I am working on
my electrical and need to know the maximum draw for the EC2,
coils and injectors. I posted my Microtech LT10s on eBay yesterday so I
may be switching to the EC2.
Thanks,
Bobby
