    Steve Morris put out a video a while back about crank sensors and said there was a real issue with the ones using a 12 point magnet set up I believe. He switched down to a 10 magnet sensor pulley mount and that cures most issues common with rpm sensors in Holleys if I remember correctly.
    Rubys fix may be as simple as changing out that billet piece and then setting the different count in the software if you are using what he was talking about.

    Through the process of elimination, if I'm remembering correctly, the only thing you haven't swapped or changed is the Holley right? Maybe the input for the crank signal is starting to give up the ghost... Maybe pull one from another car and flash it? Just for testing purposes. Also, I know prox sensors are pretty low voltage, worth a shot checking ALL your grounds, maybe a different alternator, any noise in the system could drown that out too...

    Try changing out the ECU. I remember Ricer Miata has the same kind of issue where he changed out everything and still had the same problem.

      I think you are getting a lot of inductive crosstalk, and at some point when you're under power and generating high amounts of current that inductive gain is causing you to get bad signal. So two things first affix a faraday day cage around where the crank sensor is. doesn't have to be anything fancy just some grounded metal which is enclosing that area. Then make sure that the wires you're using are shielded and grounded.
      I work in it, and sometimes we have problems with signal because of cable runs being too close to other power lines or other lines carrying current causing induction. So for critical data lines we will use shielded and grounded cable.
      I would at least try that, it's an inexpensive thing to try.

      although its a big job, they need to make sure they have a clean power/ground, a dirty power/ground, and all sensors and components are grounded accordingly. Then check if the cam and crank wire are shielded and terminated properly. It seems like it's losing signal only under high rpm/load, so it's losing resolution somewhere. The last step would be to gut the engine harness, or maybe even all wiring, and do a proper concentric twist harness to prevent noise.

    If you have another Holley computer sitting around, try swapping that in. It could be the computer itself or move the trigger input to a different channel (if it lets you do that). I had an old Haltech ECU give me issues similar to that, and it ended up needing the ECU repaired. I found out by swapping the ECU from a friend’s car that uses the computer, and magically ran fine after the ECU swap. I had to send mine back to Haltech for repair and is running great now.

    Hey Cleet, if you want to 100% get to the bottom of the sync issue, get your hands on an oscilloscope and get a measurement of the 5V supply and output pins from the crank sensor. Is the sensor gap set correctly, looks pretty wide in the video? If the trigger wheel or crank sensor are moving and opening up the gap that could do it. Either way the oscilloscope data should point you in the right direction.

    @thebarkingmouse 2 ปีที่แล้ว +12

    I think you are getting a lot of inductive crosstalk, and at some point when you're under power and generating high amounts of current that inductive gain is causing you to get bad signal. So two things first Affair day cage around where the crank sensor is doesn't have to be anything fancy just some grounded metal which is enclosing that area. So I can make sure that the wires you're using are shielded and grounded.
    I work in it, and sometimes we have problems with signal because of cable runs being too close to other power lines or other lines carrying current causing induction. So for critical data lines we will use shielded and grounded cable.
    I would at least try that, it's an inexpensive thing to try.

    • @thebarkingmouse
      @thebarkingmouse 2 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      True shielded cable has shielding on each pair of wire, a shield around the bundle, and are terminated to patch panels & jacks with a ground. They also have a current "drain" wire which connects to the shielding and which peels off from the connector to be separately grounded.
      Good shielded wire allows you to run through very noisy electrical environments and get clean signal.
      I don't know that's what your problem is, but that's where I would start personally. Some kind of grounded metal cage which you fit around the crank sensor, and a high quality shielded cable which is also grounded.
      If it doesn't work, my apologies that's my best suggestion given I'm not a car guy I'm an IT person but so much of this is computer controlled anyway. I don't think it would hurt to have grounded shielded spark plug wires, and to at least run your other lines through a braided stainless steel sleeve, which is also grounded.
      You are in true Halo race car territory now so the expense of using high quality wiring harnesses which are shielded and grounded should be trivial in the face of the other expenses.

    Something to consider with Rubys crank position sensor might be similar to an “induced voltage” problem. Where depending on the type of wave signal the crank sensor is sending ( inductive vs hall effect ) a distortion of the signal could be being created from a separate source as power ramps up. Isolating the sensor wire from the harness might be the best bet.
    Side thought Im not sure were exactly Rubys wiring harness enters the firewall, but a bad pin in our bulkhead connection port once cause us to chase our tails cause we never considered it, we had checked the wiring connection at the bulkhead port several times. But it wasnt until we were ready to rip out the harness and start fresh that we pull the port apart and saw the damaged pin.
