Hi,

Apologies for the late reply, and sorry to hear about the problems.

You may want to check your sensor bracket - ensure it is tight, did not shift position and that it is very, very rigid. A weak or thin bracket may vibrate and cause changes in the signal, causing the EDIS module to lose synchronization with the trigger wheel.

Also, the EDIS module will control the engine all by itself at the 'limp home' mode of 10 degrees BTDC. you can unplug the Megajolt and test the engine that way. If you still see the problem, then the issue is around the EDIS, sensor, wiring (including ground connections) and bracket for sensor, as described above.

Please, let us know what you find out.
