A 6p zener diode from Maplin does the trick if you want to eliminate fuel cut.

If you want to raise fuel cut it will cost you a few pounds more, a few of us developed and discussed multiple options ad nauseum in Drivetrain in early 2002.

John, I'll take a look through the search (pity you can't limit the forum..)

As usual, I'm exhausting the options prior to buying and fitting, as I like to understand as much as possible about 'what' before the 'do'... I'm sure raising it rather than eliminating is a safer option, given the ability to then shutdown under erroneous conditions - is this what most members appear to have gone for ?

As you may remember, I'm running just under the standard cut-out at the moment, and getting all OK via knock and 'blue' on AFR. Temptation will get the better of me eventually, but I'm extremely cautious, as 100K miles seems a lot - but, as everything is running OK, I'm slightly inclined to think that ANY engine can blow, if not monitored and the mileage doesn't necessarily mean that its any weaker...

I'm also aware that with the mods on my car, I'm likely looking at the limit on the TD04, but with the fuel cut as standard, I suspect I may be a little off it yet...

Cheers,

Mark
