I'm getting closer to a real startup on my Volvo now. But I don't think I got everything right with the trigger and coil triggers. I thought I understood it, but I have been cranking the engine with no fuel and trying to get a visual on the timing marks with a timing light. But im not getting anything close to what I need. I have been tweaking things and making some guesses based on some other configs I have found. And maybe I have it right now... Maybe. I'll attach my working config file here, maybe someone can take a look at it and see if my trigger and coil output settings look reasonable? This isn't the version I was trying to crank my car with last night. I haven't tried this one on the car yet since I changed to a 4 output setup. But Im hoping to try this one tonight.
So Here is the hardware.
Im using a Ford 36-1 tooth trigger wheel. With the #1 cylinder at TDC the crank sensor points to the 9th tooth after the missing tooth, which should be 90deg. This is a 4 cylinder Volvo engine, and I'm running a 2 channel wasted spark coil. It was all working with Megasquirt on the same coil/trigger setup, so im quite certain everything is OK hardware wise, minus alot of rewiring. The VEMS is the only change here. I am using ignition channels 0 and 1 (pins 35 and 33 respectively) on VEMS 36 pin plug for the output.
I'm on VEMS config version 1.1.69 and VEMStune for tuning.
Here is what I have in the "h" lines of the config file, lifted from the config file, so hex format:
h[0]=01 02 04 08 10 20 40 80
h[1]=00 12 00 12 28 14 00 00
h[2]=00 10 00 10 20 10 50 50
The Primary Trigger settings tab above is shown here, and I get an RPM signal. So I think I have this right now. So I suspect the output settings to be wrong here.
In the VEMStune "ignition outputs table",Does this correspond to the h[2] line above?
On the "Ignition Settings" tab I have:
And this one:
And the one I am most confused about:
Here is a link to my current config file. Maybe someone can take a quick gander and see if there is anything else grossly out of line.
