cam sensor
« on: June 03, 2010, 02:16:27 pm »
hello all,

when i built my vems for my rover 4.6 i fitted the front cam sensor from the LR (GEMS) efi.

Although cam sync disabled in my settings....how can i check the reading/pulses if any the sensor is making???

its fully wired up, just not turned on.

bare in mind i have very limited knowledge at this stage....and also limited equipment.

Not sure if this might work as the cam sprocket it works off, has odd solts for pulsing....

you can see the sprocket i have in the link below, i have the GEMS one on the left picture

or is it not even worth the effort???

thanks

scott

If you stop getting spark when you enable cam sync, then you have a problem.

With the most recent firmware and VemsTune you are able to make a triggerlog which includes the cam sync pulse. (Not for public use yet)
