You are right they are very helpfull and knowledable at RP
Have been in contact with them actually, in paralel with this thread and they advised excactly same thing as Stu did (before it was clear that I was on latest firmware already). thanks for the heads up though

it is the way the weber works that makes it sensitive to crank and phase sensor signals
Have you tried scoping the std signals at 3k and then scoping the zetec cam sensor at 3k and comparing the 2
The reason the sensor was moved was to remove it from the noisy dissy with the ht kv bouncing around
you are on wasted spark so you have solved this issue
perhaps your wasted spark plug leads are causing rf interference at the cam sensor
you could try twisted pairs as that is the latest way of doing it
you could also try screened cable for the sensor not earthed at either end
I have indeed considered if scoping would give me a better picture of the difference in signal (voltage power, how steep the voltage spikes are, duration og the spike etc.) - but don't have the equipment to do it
your suggestion that HT leads could cause interference with the signal is interesting (because that would save me from another inlet cam remove/install job. lol
)
So my plan is:
Try Tonys suggestion about HT leads.
If no luck, I will have the trigger machined, so the surface area of the trigger is slimmer to give a signal (voltage, spike duration) similar to the original.
will update this with my findings
thanks to everone who has contributed so far - much apriciated
