Right, I'm still having problems with this
I have checked the secondary trigger as Kamuto suggested, and with the primary (crank) sensor feeding into the secondary input, the trigger log registers. It is however a different shape log from the primary input, not sure if that is telling me something. That said, the secondary sensor on the primary input i get nothing at all with either polarity which is just the same as it is on the secondary input. I'm getting the same resistance at the ECU wire end on both primary and secondary sensors as they are much the same.
So, i'm after advice on this. This is an OEM set up with the OEM sensors, and is much the same as used on the Rover K series non VVC engines, why won't it work with Vems? Hoping some one might be able to give input.
This is the camshaft trigger set up as installed, it was an original a factory cam, but has had all the lobes machined off as it only drives the oil pump now
This is the original factory camshaft, the secondary trigger pick up is the third lobe from the left, the one with the groove in the middle
This is what is used for both the primary and secondary sensors. The pin sits in the groove in the back of the flywheel, and that groove in the cam lobe.
I have 38 positions I can position the secondary trigger pick up at (number of teeth on the drive pulley), and its currently somewhere near 180 BTDC.
I cant get at this shaft now without dismantling half of the engine, so if I have to do something else, I'm going to have to do something on the head/ camshafts/ pulleys.
Any advice welcome
