Whats it in ?

I have fitted a 16v Scorpio head on a Sierra 2.0 but i had to rewire the engine loom to use an early RS2000 ecu that could control the edis unit to run coilpacks as the Sierra ecu is only set up to fire a single coil .

If you can find an early 2.0 zetec ecu i see no reason why that couldnt be used . Manual ecu's dont need an edis unit and power the coilpacks directly . The ecu codes for non pats ecu's are DESK ,DEWY
