Hi JON!


I continue with troubble!
I´ve a Ford 2,8 V6 (injection and Twin Turbo setup)
It has a trigger wheel on crankshaft and a 1 teeth wheel for cam signal.
I have an electromotive magnetic sensor for crank (3 wires) and a new Bosch magentic sensor for cam application also (3 wires)!

In the past I´ve tried with a Hall CAM sensor (and 1 teeth for signal).
Cable connection: +5V:grey w/red strip; Signal: red pinG23; Ground: pinG6.
Advanced setup: HALL
Result: INTERMITTENT CAM SENSOR


Now I´ve installed a Magnetic CAM sensor (Bosch part 0261 210 128, from a Cehvrolet Astra 2,0 L4
This sensor is for use on crankshaft applications, could it be a problem on using for CAM signal??)
Advanced setup: MAG
Air gap: 0,0015" (1 teeth for signal)
Cable connection: Signal: red pinG23; Ground: black w/with strip; Shield: bare.

Result: INTERMITTENT CAM SENSOR

I´m checking to establish proper BTDC (between 6º and 180º) but up to now it didn´t work!

Thanks!

i right there with you.

jon,

i tried rewiring the sensor out of the loom and by itself and sill have the same problem?

yep... ^^

I have the same problem. The engines works ok but the INTERMITTENT CAM SENSOR
is always present

I´ve tried with hall sensor (vane type) and with Magnetic sensor, but it´s useless.

Try to check spark plug cables resistance to be between 1500 to 5000 Ohms per foot!
(the TEC GT manual tells that)

I had MSD Superconductor (80 Ohms x foot).
I recently purchased some MSD spiralcore (1000 Ohms x foot) and I noticed quicker engine start up!
But try carbon type cables, because they will offer more resistance. (up to 5000 Ohm)
...and maybe they also produce less interference!
