Excalibur Owners: Please Reply!

[cobraduke]

I ordered the one sold by Finish Line, Inc. It won't work on Excalibur or CRII C-427. The holes for the bumper tubes are not properly spaced, too small and there is not enough material to move a hole. The off set for the turn signal light support is also wrong (too close to the bumper support). All that said, it is a beautiful piece of work if you've got the right car

OK, back to my motor woes. When I replaced the TPS and got it dialed in, it was much improved. It still lays down (not quite as badly), but at a higher RPM (about 4800). In trying to figure it out I tried to take a look at the computer parameters and codes through the diagnosic port socket. It is dead, nothing. Scanner worked on another car at the time. Turns out the computer is not the stock 94-95 version for the 5.0. It is a '93 cobra computer (X3Z) (and the car has 24 lb. Motorsport injectors (blue tops) which explains why the computer swap). It is my understanding that there are some mods that are needed to run any earlier computer in a 94-95 system, but I have no specific info. This I need.

I have PM'd High Plains Drifter as a possible source of Jedi wisdom , but I am still looking for any one with some specific knowledge of this issue or a referal to someone who does.
Thanks for your help. (I'd be really frustrated if it weren't so much fun to drive up to 4500, I want the whole package )

...doesn`t belong here, but RPM was the trigger:
could not get my car over 3000 for almost a day in last summer. Solution: while cleaning the dash I got the rpm set on 3000...

good looking hardtop. Will try to post new pictures of mine soon as the snow gets lost...

Hey Aloys,
Do you have any contacts at Hella International in Germany? I only have one gray "key" or probe or what ever it is called for my system. I tried contacting the US Hella distributor in Georgia and was told the system was not sold in the US and I would have to contact Hella in Germany. I went to their web site, but it referred me back to the US distributor! I could not leave any message directly to customer service at Hella in Germany, so I left my request with their web master. That was several days ago and I have not received any answer. I could not find any mention of this system on their site as well. What do you know about getting more keys or even a complete system to replace what I have now?

Vielen Dank,
Mike

Mike,
far as I know this part (No.5RD 007 611-801/HELLA Protec Immobilizer Space)
is not beeing produced anymore. ERIC tried to get a system or parts of it a few years ago. I got the phone number and will call HELLA tomorrow to be sure and to get some information.
So, take good care of your key..

Thanks, Aloys. I sent you email and another one to Hella Deutschland.

Mike/All:
just talked to HELLA:
the system is not being produced anymore, no parts available anymore.
They got several transponders in stock, (5FA 729 417-001) that`s the little grey thing you touch the sensor with. But it only makes sense if you got the red master-transponder to configure the system new! (A key-set consists of one red master-key and two grey keys...)
Me,I only got one grey key...

Anyone want to talk with HELLA,here is the number in Germany: 49 2941 380

Aloys,
Were these systems used on other cars in Germany? If so, are there any used ones available? I think if I could buy a used control box (on firewall under the dash) and the matching keys, I could replace the control box and use the matching keys. I am going to ask Hella if any cars imported to the US had these systems, but the US Hella division said they were not a US product as far as they knew. May be they just gave me the easy answer. Thanks for the help.
