Summary of change:
14-5-12 What causes individual spark test to pass, but then no spark while cranking? ***I have read bad triggers cause no spark, but as far as I can tell my trigger logs are correct... 13-5-12 Found car has a resistor in the coil ground causing grounding errors for the primary trigger when power to coils was activated. ---Fixed. Clean signal back. Secondary trigger hooked up, also clean reading. ***Attempting to get full sequential running. ***Confirm Ignition/injector orderings. ***Try firing order 5-3-6-2-4-1 (stock is 1-5-3-6-2-4 but cylinder 2&5 TDC is first to pass primary trigger sensor) Trigger log here: http://joof1.dyndns.org/vems/prim_sec.triggerlog CSV: http://joof1.dyndns.org/vems/prim_sec.csv CONFIG: http://joof1.dyndns.org/vems/joof_1.1.96.vemscfg Injectors are wired such that: EC36-19-->Cylinder 1 EC36-20-->Cylinder 2 EC36-18-->Cylinder 3 EC36-09-->Cylinder 4 EC36-07-->Cylinder 5 EC36-08-->Cylinder 6 Coils: EC36-36-->Coil 1 EC36-20-->Coil 2 EC36-33-->Coil 3 EC36-35-->Coil 4 EC36-11-->Coil 5 EC36-34-->Coil 6 \emph I am very open to suggestions/advice on any glaring issues anyone notices in my config as this is my first foray into this type of thing... ***One more thing: Can anyone confirm whether or not p259's stay on during cranking if set to minimum rpm of 0? ***I found vems.co.uk/forum post from 2007 saying to invert the output and raise min rpm to above max engine speed; seems unfortunate if is still the case (power to coils,injectors, etc whenever ignition switched to on)? 12-5-12 VEMS installed, 60-2 Trigger wheel. Primary Trigger Sensor: VR Secondary Trigger : Hall 6 COP. Had good luck with VR trigger - nice clean signal. Pinout Diagram: ***http://joof1.dyndns.org/vems/E36_88pin_to_VEMS.xlsx This - until DME Relay was hooked up (which provides power to injectors and coils). When this happened I lost trigger signal. --Investigate tomorrow
