waht about a hall effect sensor on the flywheel teeth,  with the numebr
of teeth an ECM would be able to \detect misfires by measureing angular
velocity changes, and to correct accordingly.    I wonder if that would
work as a detonatiom detection.  Has anyone tried sampling
velocity/accelleration of the crank at the flywheel during detonation??
might be a simpler way than using a knock sensor to see detonation. ( i.e
rapid change in angular velocity, due to bad power stroke(s), plus easily
adaptable to ANY engine..
