It appears as the laptop is wobbling when driving the USB cable bends down and causes a cut out because of looseness.

I need to sort this out by jamming some electrical tape in the usb socket to hold it stiff.

I set Latency from 16 to 4 and no hangs as of yet. (USB port settings)
Will keep you informed of the updates.

thanks

Occasionally (random) whilst driving and everything seems to be okay. I look over to the laptop and the software has crashed. i.e Froze It is all frozen and I have to press close X, then "end program" through windows and restart it. I got a netbook with windows xp on it using the usb r232 ...

I love it. Softwares good. I can do runs then view afterwards. Thanks guys.

Well I bought another vr sensor connector. Re-wired it as the previous connector turned out to be loose and this time I inserted the nylon square insert into the connector so it would not wobble. I also at the same time made the VR sensor as close as possible to the trigger wheel . RPM's did not los...

The rpm move okay up to 2500 rpm in my drive test then get all funny after that. The everything started getting erratic again. This is video of the trigger wheel moving. Also picture of the gap. It's abut 1mm-1.5mm I have a feeling it might be too far. Not sure. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aTF6F...

Alex: I tested it like you said without megajolt and each spark plug is firing :D They seemed feint the sparks but I'm doing it on a sunny day. What do I do now please :D EDIT: Connected megajolt and it all seems to be working now. I just re- earthed the vr sensor cable. I am sure it was but I made ...

Okay I'll do that test making sure I ground the spare set of plugs.

I'm not trying for any spark. I just want to see the rpm moving on the megajolt software. I've attached pictures of the setup. I am using electrical plastic connecters like on the pic on all the wires. The shield on the VR sensor has been checked and is ground. I have swapped VR sensor cables back a...

Just tested the VR sensor on the multimeter. When you put it on the "continuity" setting on the multimeter. It shows nothing when trigger wheel is not moving. When you get the trigger wheel spinning the reading is 450. And when you press gas pedal the multimeter sounds like it is revving u...

Morning Alex,

1mm , maybe even less sometimes.Can see like a scratch on the plastic so it must be very close.
It is maybe 1mm off centre but pretty much looks spot on.

And the magnet is quite good on the sensor. I think I should do the resistance test on the sensor and the coilpack maybe.

Check if all pins in the Edis- and MJ-connector are pressed home. If there is one that is making marginal contact due to uncorrect installation you may end up like this. When you are sure that all contacts are in order, hook up the coil pack and have the spare spark plugs connected, disconnect the ...

Today was a big fail. Running standard ignition with megajolt testing by its side with spare set of ht leads & spark plugs. Don't know where to begin. 1) Start engine = no spark 2) I remove coil pack lead and check middle connector of the three. I test it on the Volt Meter and get 12V when ignit...

Can't tell, but don't you have an old set of plugs lying about? If you connect these to the leads attached to the coilpack and earth them you have the perfect way to test. I used a piece of metal bar with threaded holes that held the plugs. When you attach a timing light to the lead of plug 1 you c...

I am taking my car to get carbs on to a garage soon. But I want to make sure all the wiring is correct so the mechanics don't have to mess around. I've got the trigger wheel and VR sensor. I want to use my standard ignition system to get to the garage so I wanted to know if I can just test the "...
