seems to me the weber ecu doesn't like them just stick it back on the std one
it is only a phase signal for sequential injection
The l8 has the ability to work without a phase signal at times, working out exactly when it can do this correctly is a bit like knowing what a women is thinking lol
It can actually start without a signal monitoring battery voltage
unfortunately it can only run for so long before it decides fuck it I'm divorcing you lol
We tried all sorts to get them running reliably even with the help of the mighty Steve Philips Mr pectel himself we gave up
My advice is just stick it back on the stock phase sensor
really apriciate your input - and fully agree that the sensible thing to do was just to leave the standard setup plugged in....but it has become a bit of an obsession.
does this theory sounds plausible:
the original trigger in the dizzy, is very thin and is "leaning" towards the turn of direction.
Whereas my cam trigger is "leaning" away from the turn of direction.
So in theory the original setup will give a sharper and more sudden voltage spike, whereas the cam trigger in my setup will build up the voltage spike slower due to the fact that it sences the rising edge of the trigger for longer.
so I am considering as a last resort to machine it thinner and give it a sharper edge.
does it make an sence at all what I am trying to explain..
