RX-8 engine 6 port.
Tracy computer and reduction drive 2.85 reduction ratio.
Bob White wire harness.
Cannot get the crank angle sensor(CAS) to fire the plugs.
Everything checks out up to the CAS. Have no way of testing the CAS.
Is it possible the starter is not cranking fast enough to energize the
CAS? Does any one know if there is a minimum cranking RPM? Has anyone
had this experience before? The prop is turning @ 1 per second or @ 180
rpm when the starter is engaged. What is the resistance of the CAS, I
assume that it is simply a coil of wire inside the CAS can, is that
correct or not?
Thanks in advance, Milo

Its a coil. The starter RPM should work.

You can buy a pulse probe that might check the CAS for fairly cheap.
Other than that you will need a scope. I could do a little schematic
later on a for a pulse checker.

You need two cmos chips and a led.

Works off 12 volt 4050 ot 4059 and a 4020 divide by 16,000 counter.

I'll do a schematic latter.

Doc has some recent experience on this stuff. What is the latest Doc?

Here is a logic probe you can buy.

I don't guarantee it to work however.

This can be made for a couple of bucks.
