With EDIS 8 and MSII V3, how many revolutions - or parts of a revolution - does the engine need to do when first starting so EDIS knows where the missing tooth is?
On a cold day where the engine cranks quite slowly, I seem to count at least 9 compressions before it fires. On a hot engine it's more difficult to count them, as it cranks so much faster.
Cold starting is very consistent and reliable - just wondered why it takes so much cranking compared to my other car.

Re: EDIS and starting.
Dave,
Are you using the Ford module? I am using the whole setup. (module, coils etc.) Mine doesn't seem to need to turn more than 1 revolution before it finds the missing tooth and starts firing. I have never had any starting problem with EDIS!

Re: EDIS and starting.
Yes it's a complete Ford system. Starting is reliable - just takes more revolutions of the engine than my other car which starts near instantly.kjones6039 wrote:Dave,

Perhaps I should log a start and see if there's anything obvious.

Re: EDIS and starting.
trakkies,
I've noticed the same thing with my edis8 (complete original Ford setup). It starts and runs just fine but has a prolonged crank cycle that is very consistent.

Thanks. It doesn't really bother me if that's how it is meant to be. I noticed it immediately after changing from a dizzy and first thought it was to do with my settings.'66fb wrote:trakkies,

Re: EDIS and starting.
What is the gap between the toothed wheel and the sensor? Some times setting the sensor closer will help.Shoot for something between 0.010 and 0.005 inch.
