Brumby Ignition Module.

[Gazza01]

I'm looking to buy a new Ignition Module for my 91 Brumby. When I do a check I see Tridon Subaru Brumby Ignition Module is TIM004. However further checks also show CM417 to fit Brumby and they r asking a leg and a arm $75 plus, but I see Subaru L series carby version show E12-61 with two connecting points same as CM417 and TIM004 selling for $59. Can anyone tell me if E12-61 is same animal as CM417 & TIM004.

I flogged one from an L distributor and used it in my Brumby.

ACA do one that retails about $100 - price from two years ago.
Search in here may give you some ACA numbers

Yes that helps because I have seen a few L series in the wrecking yard and they have the E12-61 stamped on them and have the two identical connection point as the CM417 which sells on ebay for the Brumby.

Did a search of the RAE site and they show that both the Subaru Brumby and the L series 82-94 take the same identical Ignition Distributor control Module RAE use the number IM120 . Tridon use the number TIM004 . Other numbers for the same Module are CM417 and E12-61 and its gets a bit confusing when u go on ebay and u only seem to come up with either CM417 or E12-61 and in most cases they only indicate just Brumby or L series when in fact all these Module numbers refer to both vehicles and are just a manufactures numbers . I just did a check of a friends 87 Brumby and his module has the number E12-61 stamped on it. Guess all this mind bending stuff stops a man from going brain dead.

Just wait until the man behind the counter tries to sell you timing belts for your 85 onwards Brumby

U must have a L series AE82 motor Brumby AE81 no belt.

Just got 2 Distributor Modules for Brumby from "SpareBox Auto" Ebay for $133.00 all up.

Oh, you not been there yet, when man behind counter has books that insist your post 84 Brumby has an EA82 factory fit, and they have timing belts to suit, and every other L Series EA82 part listed for 85 on Brumbies - it is all BS, misprint and misguided stuff

Hi Is there anybody out there that can advise me how to diagnose a faulty distributor module
Have no spark
Also where is the module that controls the fuel pump

G’day Tezbo,

If you have a dead ignition module, replace your coil too. A dead coil will take out the ignition module too. Ask me how I know…

As for testing it, I’m unsure about that. The Haynes manual might give some insight or a Google search is the other option before enlisting an auto sparky - at which point it’s probably just cheaper to replace the coil and module.

Fuel control module is above the driver’s feet. It’s a black box, from memory there is a six wire plug, also black, and it connects on the face of the module, not at the top or side if that makes sense.

If your fuel pump is not working this will be because that fuel control module requires a spark reference to activate the fuel pump. Dead ignition module or coil = no fuel pump operation.

Basically, fix your spark issue first, then look into the fuel pump, you might be chasing a red herring on the fuel pump issue.

I tested mine by replacing it Had one spare for that exact scenario. Car died mid way through a corner and rolled to a stop, wouldn't start, tow truck home, replaced the module, car started
