Hi all. This is for Motronic on my 2.0 Jetta powered Vanagon. I am chasing down a consistent hot start issue. (fuel pressure is ok) I doubt the hall on distributor is the issue but I am curious of the wiring to it. I had to repair and modify the wiring harness for this engine swap. Bentley shows a difference in the + reference wiring to the hall. Most model years receive ECU supplied + (5 Volts?), others receive battery voltage. My Jetta Bentley specifies a minimum 4 Volts at distributor hall connector. I can supply images of the diagrams if needed. I will re-measure this, but would connecting the hall to 12 Volts shorten the life of the hall, or would it cause the hall to send too high a voltage square wave to the ECU? If so, is this damaging the ECU?
Thanks, Neil. -- Neil n Blog: tubaneil.blogspot.ca '88 Westy http://tinyurl.com/c8rlw6p '81 VanaJetta 2.0 "Jaco" http://tubaneil.googlepages.com/ Vanagon VAG *Gas* inline-VR Engine Swap Group: |
