[Diy_efi] RE: Nissan KA24E ECU and CAS

Tue May 9 21:12:50 UTC 2006

Mike,

Thanks for your comments.

The RB26 has a coil on plug set-up so plug lead interference is not an
issue - although interference might be coming from somewhere else.

I will check the ground.

I have an M600 Motec ECU and the new V3 software has a REF and SYNC
oscilloscope trace that you can look at which might tell me more.

I am just finishing an install on a CDI system which may also alleviate
things, but I think a hall sensor
http://www.sol.co.uk/h/hugh/Ignition/Honeywell%20GT1%20hall%20sensor%202.pdf
reading 18 clutch cap head bolts on the back of the fly wheel is probably
the best answer.

Thanks

Hugh

Interesting, this is rather different to the RB30 unit which
has the same gaps per cylinder except tdc, I'll find my
analyser traces somewhere - which show the pulse shape
and number of pulses overlap to distinguish tdc from other
cylinders. With the RB30 unit there are often reports of damage,
unfortunately the EHT leads can lie against the CAS leads
and any corona discharge (not a spark but a field effect) can
impress noise on the signals - make sure you have a good
separation between leads and check your ground connection on
the CAS. On the RB30 unit there is an extra ground wire which
goes to a spade on the body of the unit. it doesnt rely on the
interface connector alone.
