Guest Simon Posted February 8, 2003 Share Posted February 8, 2003 Here is the deal, I have a VG30DETT in my Z (not yet) running on propane gas with a blow thru carby setup. I need to figure out some sort of ignition system to use. Does any one know how the Cam mounted Crank angle sensor works? i want to make my own computer to run it.... but i need to know how it works.... I don’t want to put a dissy onto it And info/links would be great Sim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Simon Posted February 10, 2003 Share Posted February 10, 2003 Simon (1:37:20PM): any idea how they work Angus (1:37:26PM): yep Angus (1:37:43PM): they have a cylinder about 2-3cm deep with gaps in it Angus (1:37:57PM): which spins around with the cam shaft Angus (1:38:01PM): or crank or whatever Angus (1:38:08PM): and attached to the housing is a haul sensor Angus (1:38:19PM): which signals the coils to fire when it detects a hole Simon (1:38:32PM): cool.... Angus (1:38:38PM): yep.. Angus (1:38:41PM): somethin glike that anyway Angus (1:38:56PM): like in mine there are 3 coils, each one fires for two cylinders Simon (1:39:02PM): so where do i start researching to get a computer to run that Angus (1:39:08PM): so, during each revolution, each cylinder fires twice... Angus (1:39:29PM): i don't know how the crank angle sensor knows which coil to fire... perhaps there are 3 cylindrical things with holes in it Angus (1:39:35PM): hmm not a clue!!

Guest zline Posted February 18, 2003 Share Posted February 18, 2003 adapt a 4AGZE DLI ignition if you want a distributorless factory ignition. its easy and you can just set it up with a SDS ECU... itd be a lot easier and cheaper than making your own computer etc., Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Simon Posted February 20, 2003 Share Posted February 20, 2003 surely some one must know a little more about this than what has been said already! If you know any one who may know can you ask them. because i cant get my car going till i make a computer, i cant afford a retail ignition computer...im a student thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest empracing Posted February 23, 2003 Share Posted February 23, 2003 simon what specificaly do you want to know its a optical trigger it triggers when the light shines thru a slot your computor needs to use it as a base line p.s cpus for cars are bulk cheap try capa or fueltronics in aussie...
