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.***

Car will not run, it is quite possible my primary trigger settings are wrong, although they are from other members running bmw m50 based engines with the 60-2 tooth wheel. Cyl 1/6 TDC trigger tooth is ~ 6 teeth (36 degrees) past missing tooth/sensor. A forum post shows and confirms this, claims cyl 2/5 TDC must be used instead.

Unsure of proper ignition and injection ordering...car stock fires 1-5-3-6-2-4

I believe I have it set for 1-4-6-3-2-5 as per other users config but need to confirm.

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

Open to suggestions as this is my first foray into this type of thing, and am in a bit over my head.

VEMS installed, 60-2 Trigger wheel.

Primary Trigger Sensor: VR

Secondary Trigger : Hall

6 COP.

Had good luck with VR trigger - nice clean signal.

This - until DME Relay was hooked up (which provides power to injectors and coils). When this happened I lost trigger signal.

--Investigate tomorrow
