Anyone good with Autronics???

**BigWorm** · 12-05-2008, 11:15 PM

I'm having trouble starting my motor, which is a 4AGTE, Autronic SMC + CDI, 4 coils, cut down dizzy, single tooth sync pickup & 24 tooth cyl pulse pickup, with the sync lined up with cyl. 1 @ TDC. It also has a reluctor interface between the CAS & ECU.
It spits & pops out the (very) short exhaust but won't fire, & with the laptop plugged in is showing warnings for the cyl. pulse 1, 2 & 3.
The warning's set to go off if any of the cyl. pulses exceed 65 msec and they are showing 180 for all three, and I'm buggered if I understand it.

Can anyone shed any light on what the issue might be?
I'm expecting it to be fairly simple as nothing significant has changed, & I want to avoid towing it somewhere to have a simple problem fixed.

I know someone with some Autotronic exp... but they are half a world away!!!! The guy is Bob... he is the owner to a small performance enhancing company located near Seattle USA. He is a member of www.hachiroku.net/forums They have a beginning of a website that has some contact info...... http://www.drift-office.com/

I hope this helps.........

I think autronic you need the sync to pass the sensor around 60 deg btdc. Could that be the issue?

What was the fix? Im having the same problem now.

crank angle sensor was in the wrong position. whilst cranking they will ocasionally pick up a sync error but once started it normally goes away.

joel, if you still have my number send me an SMS and ill give you a buzz back asap.

cheers

Hmm that wouldn't be my case as nothing like that has changed..
I think basically MSD is buggered for some odd reason just because I unplugged it and plugged it back in. And I got the wrong ignitors..
Don't have your number mate, pm it to me?
