50968, Ignition Trigger
Posted by Greg, May-11-03 02:49 PM
If I'm not mistaken our cars ignition is triggerd via a cam position sensor? Or are we off a Crank angle sensor? What type of crank or cam ignition triggering sensor is it??

We have both a crank position, and a cam position sensor. Both are used in ignition firing/timing.

That's what makes it fun to try to get any kind of piggyback timing device to work correctly, since we have both.

...and our crank trigger is of course totally non-standard, so no it won't work with your Haltech right out of the box, AFAIK. You'll have to build a timing wheel off the accessory pulley side, or of the flywheel, or somewhere creative. (like machining off the stock trigger teeth, and building a setup to work with your haltech off the crank semi-factory.)

Electromotive uses a crank trigger wheel you bolt to an underdrive pulley, you set TDC, then bolt the crank trigger wheel to the harmonic balancer puller bolt holes to hold it in place. Then there is a mount for sensor. It's a nice setup except our pulley isn't keyed to the crank so every time you pull the UDP, you have to reset the timing wheel.
