Visit Preferences to set your user name Summary of change: UPDATE: 2015-09-17 I have run into this problem again! This time with a Volvo 740 1990. And first gen volvo 5 cyl turbo engine. Standard installation with Twinshield. During cranking the trigger is so bad that it does not even fire ignition. See trig logs. We have tried the following: *Added ground: No change *Polarity switch : no change *Changed sensor: No change. *Changed to Volvo B230 sensor with custom bracket. 0.5-3mm tested, marginally better trigger. *Moved supply and ground for ECU to and from battery, to and from engine block: Minor or no change in trigger. *Changed starter motor : Much better trigger! To the point that the ECU starts so sync sporadically and fires ignition. Then we noticed that during cranking the trigger is rubbish, but when you let go of the cranking, the 2-3 last revolutions of the engine the signal clears right up and becomes perfect! So with patients the car does now start, but its pure luck to its syncs up and start. Maybe 1 out of 20 times. The funny ting is that when its started it runs perfect! No trig error. But the log still look wierd on idle. Will add logs, CFG and trigglogs shortly. ---- ---- '''OLD Post, may or may not be relevant''' Volvo 245 with new generation twin VVT volvo T5 engine. VEMS V3.7, twinshield, simens 875cc, volvo 601 coils. We have experienced extreme trigger problems during cranking. Change every singel part inc; V3, Shielded wire VR sensors, 2 different types. Flywheel, 2 different types, one solid billet one and one OEM from -97 850 turbo. What ever we do, there is till always trigger error. Both less primary, and to many primary. Wont even fire IGN coils. We even changed startermotor, and that made the triggerlog much better, but not good enough to start. Tried everyting, dissconnected everyting but VR trigger, still no good trigger. Moved ground to engine. Moved 12v+ supply. Moved the battery from the trunk back to its original place. Tried all kinds of settings and polaritys. Nothing works! http://www.vems.hu/files/ThorbjornEngdahl/T5%20trigger%20problem/1.png Standard trigger wheel brand new sensor http://www.vems.hu/files/ThorbjornEngdahl/T5%20trigger%20problem/7.png The very best we got. Still not good. We got this with very low battery, and changed startermotor. Never seen such a wierd trigger http://www.vems.hu/files/ThorbjornEngdahl/T5%20trigger%20problem/med%2013.4%20vlt.png With jumpercables to antother running car, 13.4 volts http://www.vems.hu/files/ThorbjornEngdahl/T5%20trigger%20problem/Nytt%20hjul.png Billet wheel, New type trigger sensor. All files located here: http://vems.hu/files/ThorbjornEngdahl/T5%20trigger%20problem/ ---- Hello Thorbjorn, I have reviewed your triggerlogs, the log with the standard flywheel looked best but seemed to have swapper VR polarity, could you redo this triggerwheel (stock flywheel if possible), with swapped trigger wires 8-10 seconds cranking without INJ and IGN fuse ? I'll review this new logs we'll work from there. Best regards, Dave --- Hi Dave, Unfortunately the customer chose to return his unit to me. :( I tried polarity change of both wheels, but I didn't name all the logs. All logs are with only VR connected. No INJ nor IGN connected. Same problem, on all configurations, just varying amount of error.
