DESCRIPTION: ELECTRONIC POWER MODULE FOR KE-JETRONIC VW’S
NOTE: The Autotech Power Module is a 50 state legal device under C.A.R.B. E.O.#D-375.
TOOLS REQUIRED: PARTS LIST:
10mm socket wrench (1) Power Module unit with complete harness
Screwdriver (1) Wire splicetap
We have found that, although KE-Jetronic VW’s in stock form are provided with suffi-
cient amounts of fuel for normal driving, these cars are running considerably leaner than the
ideal air/fuel ratio that produces maximum horsepower. The Power module allows the engine
to run much closer to this ideal ratio. This is why even stock engines can benefit from the
Power Module. The biggest gains to be had though, are on modified engines. They use much
more air, and thus have more potential for gaining power from fuel enrichment.
This electronic device is designed for use on all four cylinder Volkswagens that use Bosch
KE Jetronic fuel injection. It measures two basic parameters: throttle position (full throttle),
and engine speed. The device’s output is bridged into the car’s fuel injection system via the
control pressure actuator (E.H.A.). The output signals from the power module change the
current loads to the fuel distributor, thus changing the amount of fuel sent to each of the
injectors.
The Power Module’s ability to “think” is what makes it different from other enrichment
devices on the market. This allows your fuel injection to function as if it were unmodified during
normal use. This is especially important during cold start operations and in highway cruising.
The Power Module is not “on” all the time, it engages only when conditions find it necessary.
PROCEDURE:
1. Make sure that the car’s ignition is OFF.
2. Attach the single black wire lead to engine ground. The best place to attach it is on the
driver’s side of the cylinder head where the coolant flange bolts to the engine. There should
already be a number of wires attached to the stud there. Just remove the nut and fasten the
ring connector to the stud. In the event that this attachment point is not usable or accessible
(e.g. Fox models), connection directly to the negative terminal of the battery is also acceptable
3. Next, attach the wires to the coil. The Power Module’s coil wires are terminated with
female spade connectors. The GREEN wire goes to the negative (-) terminal of the coil, and the
RED wire goes to the positive (+). If your coil does not have spade type connectors, or if your
coil terminals are full, we have supplied two ring adapters that may be used to make these
connections easier..
