The 98 Silver 2.5 CDX Saloon project car is almost ready for sale, change the ABS ECU and in for its MOT tomorrow so i thought i had better buy another one, so i did ::) 98 Black 2.5 CDX Estate will be here at the weekend ;) and guess what, it has a misfire ::)

Looking forward to the Status reports ;)
Glad someone has taken over the burden of "New Projects" good luck :y :y

nice one! :y

Right, it's arrived and boy does it sound like a bag of poo, a big bag at that :-/ The guy i bought it from wasn't joking when he said it sounds like a taxi :o It does run, but noisey would be an understatement, It doesn't sound like its knocking, its just very very rattly. Oil light goes off straight away but EML is on, will do paperclip tomorrow and report back. Any suggestions would be welcomed. This one might be getting pulled apart :'(

Obviously comes with it's own sound effects! ;D

There you go Timbuk. This is a quote from the all knowing one himself :y
Its legacy......the early distributor based units had a hall sensor in them to trigger the ignition module....as this is effectively cam speed (and on Vx over head cam units it was mounted on the end of the cam)...hence it always was a cam sensor...
For info, the hall effect operates by passing a small current through a slab of silicon from say North to South, as a piece of ferrous material passes, some of the electrons passing through the silicon are dragged to either the East or West side (dependent on direction of rotation), if there is a contact there you get a current flow through it and hence a signal.....
This was pretty evident on the failed cam sensor that Taxi driver sent ....it had a small circuit board with a few capacitors on it which were connected to a 4 contact hall sensor (slab of silicon), in this case both east and west contacts were connected together.

It's certainly got sound affects alright :-/

Hall effect = cam sensor

Have decided that this is not a viable project :-/ Car now listed in spares section
