im not sure if its oem or not, all i know is that its obviously variable reluctance, but does not look the same as the ones which are usually used or got with the edis kits. Here is a link if ur interested, http://www.kad-uk.com/crank-sensor.htm

I think i may have solved the problem, and i think it was the VR sensor, as i swapped it out and the car has been fine today! Funny tho as the sensor was new from KAD with their kit!
Neways thanks for all the help

Alex

ok... i have now rewired the pip, saw, power and grn wires from the edis to the megajolt but still it seems as if the signal is cutting out when under load at very low revs, i.e. if i change into fourth when going slow and try to acellerate. Could it be that the edis module is faulty?? as it is now ...

Thanks brent, ill do a bit of re-wiring.

Alex

Ye i thought it might be the pip / saw signal aswel, but i wasnt sure why it would be under those exact conditions! Im actually running map sensor..... so is it likely that its the wiring for the pip signal?

Thanks

Alex

Ok got the mj unit running again, and have been out for a drive, just before 2k revs and with a load of 85-100 its almost as if the signal cuts out, with the laptop running it shows that the timing snaps to the lowest bin, i.e. top left, which in my case is 16 deg, and sits at about 1700 revs. Can a...

cheers guys, the car runs on limp home at 10 deg, so im guessing its a problem with the megajolts itself, or the pip, saw or power cables. Will the burnt out track mean that something will have been damaged??? is there a way of testing with voltages etc.

Ive been having problems with the ignition cutting out recently, usually when ive come to a stop, and then the car wont start ageain and thers no spark. Then later on when i try again the car will start, and i cant find any dodgy wiring. So i looked at the bosard itself and have found that the track...

the car does not seem to be running properly between 2-3k, the accelleration slows down and i can feel the car struggle a little bit. im pretty sure the sensor bracket hasnt moved, ill check again but it is a kad part not home made and is pretty tight. i checked trigger wheel and thats fine, but wil...

Ok had megajolt running for a while now and recently the pip / saw wire melted underneath my manifold so i re soldered the wires and connected the shielding together and then heat shrink on top. Not sure if this has got anyhting to do with the problem but now at about 2k under load in 4th gear i get...

Ok i have a pretty good map for my 998 mini at the moment. just wondering tho is the best map always when the timming is the most advanced it can be without pinking??

I am running megajolt with a vacuum guage for my dash, does this mean that the map sensor will be detecting slightly less presure becuase some will be being split going to the vacuum guage??

alex

cheers guys, finally got around to having a proper fiddle with stuff, turns out the firing order was wrong way round so i swapped the two coil pack wires

i think that mini pulleys is offline for a while, i also couldnt get hold of them at the time. i was told that the person who runs it, tom, is having a few problems with stuff at the moment so is not running mini pulleys at the moment, which is why i went to kad.

alex

because im rele lazy and had just got paid at the time, i ended up getting the kad crank sensor kit, but its incredible pricey. probly not worth it. the other way to do it is to buy the trigger wheel and fit it to a 1275 crank damper and make a bracket yourself. If you go to minifinity.com in the te...
