Summary of change:
I have a Volvo B230 4 cyl 8 valve engine with simple trigger: * Two teeth on crank at about 80 degrees before TDC * Camsync occuring at TDC. It takes "forever" to sync and sometimes fires up immediately, it never complains about trigger errors but one thing is clearly seen : * At first the status flag "Running" turns on/off and there is no rpm signal. * Then suddenly the "Cranking On" flag turns on and it starts and runs fine. Here is a firmware 1.2.11 vemslog of starting and running the engine. Notice the initial cranking with no rpm signal, then suddenly "cranking on" and it starts. * http://www.vems.hu/files/MembersPage/MattiasSandgren/C004andCamSync/1.2.11-c004-camsync-hard-to-sync.triggerlog If I run firmware pre 1.2.x it will sync and start immediately. * What can I do about improving this for 1.2.0+ firmware? * Are there any settings I have missed? I have tried this on a V8 with only 90 degrees between crank teeth, it was almost impossible to get it starting. Downgrade to 1.1.96 and it fires right up every time. Here is a typical cranking sequence, and clear to see seven (7) crank rotations before it syncs - with no fuel, so it didn't start, only for triggerlog cranking. http://www.vems.hu/files/MembersPage/MattiasSandgren/C004andCamSync/1.2.11-c004-camsync-hard-to-sync.triggerlog http://www.vems.hu/files/MembersPage/MattiasSandgren/C004andCamSync/1.2.11-hard-to-sync.png Here are my basic settings, anything to be changed here? http://www.vems.hu/files/MembersPage/MattiasSandgren/C004andCamSync/1.2.11-hard-to-sync-settings.png
