Hey guys, do I have to go have another baby to get some activity on the
list?  Geez, there must be something going on.  If I have to I will take one
for the team and go out and find some likely candidates to practice with,
but come on....we must be doing some work on our rotaries.

I <sniff> miss you guys.

BTW, is Tracy back yet?  I have my "extra" ECU I need to send in.

All the best,

Chris

Steve,
Thanks for checking this on your set up. I just sent Tracy an email off line
about this. I am thinking that there must be an issue with the controller,
unless he has some other test I can do. I am out of ideas on things to check
at this point.

Steve,

Last night I tried to determine the effects of miswiring a properly functioning CAS to one of my EC2's

Reversing the two CAS signals resulted in no sparks (no coil control signal pulses generated and not one spark seen at any RPM).

Disconnecting either or both of the CAS signals resulted in no sparks.

Reversing the polarity of either one of the CAS sensors also resulted in no sparks.

Reversing the polarity of both CAS sensors resulted in sparks that appeared normal in intensity and timing. This last condition may be a non-issue or possibly an insidious problem. Probably only Tracy would know which would be the case. The sensible thing would be to wire things according to his recommendations, of course.

In any case, I could not produce the symptoms you are seeing by miswiring known good components as described.

Again, for what it is worth.

Steve Boese
