Microphone cable with a braided screen is perfect and cheap

The easiest way I've found is: Mount the sensor as it will mounted be when the car's complete. Turn the engine to TDC as precisely as possible. Offer up the trigger wheel with the centre of the missing tooth aligned with the centre of the sensor. Rotate the trigger wheel 90 degrees (or nine teeth, t...

I might be wrong, but how have you mounted your trigger wheel? Is it on the outside of the crank damper, or possibly a machined damper? If so, the damper might be merrily doing it's job correctly - meaning the teeth of the pulley effectively "move" in relation to the crank itself on each p...

That all depends on the conditions i.e. engine speed vs. engine load vs. throttle opening. Cruising on a flat motorway for example, the engine's turning at a medium speed but is under only a little load and thus the throttle's only part open, so you'll see about 2/3 vacuum. Compare that to climbing ...

Now now, as fun as LMGTFY is, it's still nice to have a discussion about it. :P Sorry dude, it was the inner twelve-year-old's fault! :lol: As a rule, for day to day conditions on a NA car, wide open throttle will show 101-102kPa near sea level, you'll not get a perfect vacuum on an engine (it just...

Have you tried the simplified tach diode circuit? Basically touch your tach trigger wire on the INPUT of the Zener diode, eliminating it from the circuit. I know of people that have had good success with this after getting exactly the problem you describe regarding the needle hitting a wall and drop...

No, fuel won't affect things at all. It doesn't on my car, and doesn't seem to bother any of the car's my mates run with the same system. The only reason for the reservoir would be to smooth pulses from multiple runners, but if you only use one take-off, there's no problem. Good luck with the contin...

Here would be ideal, and it'd save you the hassle of tapping in two places, just one.



Also, if you're concerned about fuel getting at the MAP sensor stick a cheap fuel filter in-line, but in reality it's not enough of a problem to hurt the sensor.

Am I?! That suprises me. Haven't had much net access at all for ages

Terrible timing dude! The Mini's just come off the road while I find a suitable lock up to do what it needs.
might mooch down in the Fester though - it's got a crank sensor and coil pack! lol

Someone stuck a Y on the end of my surname

Is it wrong that I really like that? And want one...

That's a RedDevil washer bottle I think - it's a drink like RedBull over here - I guess you don't get it over there
