Engine position/reference trace

Hi all

How does my Engine position and reference wave forms look?

The Pullups should be on for Hall Effect sensors.

Also, the Hysteresis for ref and sync should be a fixed value for hall effect sensors. I would suggest 1V.

Thanks all, that is lunch times task.

Is the fact that the speed trace is "inverted" an issue?

I have ordered a sensor to match the reference one but just interested (especially if I need to use a wheel speed sensor in an emergency!).

Both ref and sync traces look fine.

OK, think I am nearly there.

Fitted a ZF GS1001 sensor to the crank and enabled the pull up and am now getting an RPM!!!

The only odd things are -

The peak voltage on the ZF GS1001 is only 3.9V...is this normal?

For info I tried to enable the pull on the Sync sensor and instead of having a 0-5.5V square wave I then had a 3-5.5V square wave. Weird. I disabled the pull up.

Just need to confirm where the missing teeth are in relation to TDC now!

Hi,

It's fairly typical that a 5V+ fed Hall Effect sensor will output a 0~4V square wave signal.

Thanks Stephen

Done a compression test, all good. Now on to the missing tooth position, DBW config, TPS adapters and about a dozen fuel hoses to make up!
