Changes by last author:

Changed:
Early EFi Renault engines came with an unusual trigger pattern on their flywheel. 20 teeth followed by one tooth twice the normal tooth width, followed by a missing tooth twice the normal tooth width.
== Ignition ==

Early 16v Renaults have a cam mounted distributor, driven by a single coil. The coil has an integrated ignition amplifier with three pin and two pin connectors wired:

Three Pin connector:

* Pin A - +12v feed, on with ignition.

* Pin B - Ground.

* Pin C - Tacho signal out.

Two Pin connector:

* Pin A - Not Connected.

* Pin B - Ignition control.

When the ignition control is disconnected from the ignition module it reads +5v. When it is connected to the ignition module it reads 0v.

Scope traces show the ignition pattern on an idling car:

Later Renaults have a 60-2 trigger pattern flywheel and use a Sagem wasted spark coil pack.

Are you sure about this? (or is it just speculation after seeing the electronic signal?) Do you have a picture of the wheel ?

This looks like an inverted sensor.

Can this trigger pattern be used with our existing Triggering algorithm?

* yes, even standard config would work, that is almost equivalent to advanced multitooth filter thresholds normal=tooth=0..150% and missing_tooth=150%..any

This works with standard config using a 20 tooth primary trigger setting. Cranking shows a good RPM signal, config info will be posted once the car is running correctly.
