This might cause problems if the Hall Sender unit sends one signal per revolution of the distributor. The ecus adjust timing for each cylinder (according to the Bentley FI manual), you would get the retard for 3 happening to 1. You would also get the injectors possbily injecting at the wrong times if they are grouped 1&2 and 3&4, but I do not remember how they are grouped. I kind of doubt they are grouped like this, and would think they are grouped 1&3 and 2&4 so the pulses correspond with the opening of the valves... Something to look into though... dave
