I have a question about mounting the Crank Position Sensors themselves.
My system is an EC2 computer on a GEO 1.3L engine with two crank sensors, one for the A computer, and a separate one for the B computer.
Do you see a downside to having both the A and B crank position sensors
mounted on a bracket so that they BOTH are reading the same toothed
wheel on the engine crank pulley? Can the EC2 B computer run and adjust itself to work if it is receiving the crank sensor signal coming from a differently oriented crank sensor?
BACKGROUND: In my recent tuning efforts I have found that the 'B'
crank sensor teeth is causing the engine to run
rough when going above 1800 RPM. I have a small pulley that
has replaced the stock GEO harmonic balancer. The main pulley has the
teeth cut into it for the A computer and A CPS to read. There is also a secondary set of teeth specifically for the B CPS/B computer
backup combination. On the same shaft but closer to the engine.
1. A computer connected to A CPS, reading A teeth - smooth/OK 2. B
computer connected to B CPS, reading A teeth - smooth/OK 3. A
computer connected to A CPS, reading B teeth - rough as a cob 4. B
computer connected to B CPS, reading B teeth - rough as a cob
My Sherlock-Holmes-ian deduction says the B teeth are out of spec
and contributing mightily to the engine roughness. And I am thinking:
just forget that second set of teeth and use the primary A/teeth for
both sensors (A & B). But I wanted to check with more experienced folks before
pursuing something like this.
Thanks in advance,
Mike
