I have just replaced my phase sensor on my Ecos as the car wouldn't start with it connected but now it starts fine but misfires when coming onto boost. Is there a way of testing it? also what does it do?

Cheers

irrc it tels the injectors what cylinder to fire needs to gapped crrectly

 

it has to be gapped correctly

 

I have been advised to gap it to .25 is this correct?

 

It tells the ECU what cylinder is next to fire. It's for 720 degree engine syncronisation to allow sequential injection instead of batch fired/semi sequential.

 

so whats the ideal setting for the phase sensor because i have just changed mine

 

I seem to remember it being 0.3mm....and the CPS should be 0.6mm.

but my memory can be bad

 

it senses phases! badoooom tish!

 

Its a cam sensor and i bet you connected it backwards. Red wire goes on left pin.

 

As said needed if sequential injection, the red wire as said goes on nearest pin to the phase sensor, the body plug electrical connector is marked with + and - as well, but very tiny markings.

remember when i went to grove after my rebuild and mark said in a cockney twang...."Ooo tha fackin' ell fitted this cant"..............
