No trigger wheel pulses whike cranking
my problem is that I do not get pulses from the trigger wheel while cranking with the starter.
Car: Landrover 2.25 liter (136 cui) 4 cylinder
Megasquirt II V3.0 board
Firmware V 2.891
Trigger wheel 36-1 VR sensor
While running the engine with normal distributor ignition I get trigger pulses.
MS send also spark pulses out (tested with separate coil).
From this side everything works.
Problem starts below 350 rpm.
Cranking starter speed is 200-250 rpm.
Current setup is :
cranking trigger to calculated
Tach signal masking
Time mask to 0.2
Percentage Mask to 10%
How I see it the ECU gets pulses from the VR but can not interpret them while cranking, therefore the ignition output will not happen.
I measure pluses at pin 25 VR input but at IC 7 pin 1 I get just 1 pulse.
Any Idea? Suggestion?
Best regards
Alex

Re: No trigger wheel pulses whike cranking
thank you for the reply.
Found the problem VR sensor was too far away from the wheel.
A washer cured the problem, engine is starting and runs now.
Now the tuning starts
