We have spark!!!
A new (to me) EDIS module arrived in the mail today. I made a cool little testing system out of a specialized wav file and by splicing into a headphone cord. I can plug the system into the headphone jack of my laptop and play the wav file. It sends the proper voltage signal simulating the engine turning at 1150RPM. Here's a link to the setup for those interested: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.heggs.co.uk/vrssim/wav/index.htm">http://www.heggs.co.uk/vrssim/wav/index.htm</a><!-- m -->
Anyhow, plugged the new system in and I had sparks everywhere! (I had the plug wires disconnected from the head and just laying on the engine, so they were arcing everywhere they could find a ground!).
I primed the fuel pump (accidentally) and got a little "pumph!" from the engine too!
This is good :-).
Next is making sure the VR sensor is working right. With this system I get about 130mv AC, so with the VR sensor hooked up and the engine cranking, I should see about half that theoretically. Oh, and more sparks :-)
Progress!
