No the trigger wheel is bolted to the camshaft.

OK sticking with the original PnP settings i logged aux 3 status and cam angle #1. I can see the aux output activate at the correct rpm but the cam position just seems to "float' rather then "switch". Is this what you would expect to see or id it maybe shotty VANOS seals? aux3 test.llg

I'll try that again, how would I check that the cam position has changed? I can see aux3 activate in the runtime values. I'm using an m52 crank trigger wheel too if that matters

Anybody got any suggestions?

Hi again, E36 sedan with a stroked 3 litre m50, m3 cams, 850cc injectors, PnP ecu. I'm trying to get the single VANOS going but I'm finding conflicting info and none seems to be working. Current trigger mode is Multitooth/missing, -325 crank offset. Ive seen it mentioned to change to M52 trigger mode with +30 offset but that doesn't run at all for me. Ive tried with VVT turned off and just configuring AN3 for Cam switch. I can see it in the runtimes that it is activating at the required settings. And I've tried with VVT on but i cant't work it out. Log and file attached. Thanks Shaun vvt.llg SHAUN.pclr Also, I've had the car idling and turned the AN 3 Cam switched on and off>500rpm and you can hear something happen, but driving around makes no difference. I have a giant torque hole and it needs filling!!!

You're amazing. Works perfectly.

That is so much better, and those settings are so different to the tuners. Its seems to have a tendency to hang a little bit though, but its much better then stalling. The place that tuned my car were really unprofessional with communication and just getting the job done by when they said they would. Maybe they rushed my car? But thanks so much for having a look for me. idle problems2.llg

Hey guys, Ive got an E36 sedan with a stroked 3 litre m50, m3 cams, 850cc injectors, PnP ecu, dyno tuned a few weeks ago and made 221whp. Pretty happy. The issue I've got is that once its warm it struggles to catch itself coming back down to idle. I've looked through the Ignition idle settings and some logs and to my inexperienced it looks like it is trying to do what its meant to, but its just not right. The RPMs drop routinely into the 400s or less, and when I put extra load on it ie. power steering pump in parking situations it stalls completely. I've attached my file and a log for examination. Hopefully someone has some answers, so thanks in advance. Shaun idle problems.llg shaun2.pclr

OK I got it working. For anyone else using these I got it working by logging in using serial bluetooth and changing the mode to Link mode, then changing the CAN ID to 950. Only then will the Link ecu pick it up. Thanks a bunch for all your help everybody.

Yes that's correct, white wire at link end is CAN HI, and the brown CAN HI wire on the Spartan end is connected to it. I'll try set the IDs to 950 fore one last try, then I'm requesting refund. Unless someone can spot something wrong.

Right, now I've tried the stream suggested by Richard, checked the can IDs match, done a factory reset on the Spartan back to the default mode (for which the can ID is NOT 950 its 1024 so the instructions seem wrong), and quadruple checked the wiring and that's all good. So now I'm at a loss. Seems like it shouldn't be this hard and maybe there are plenty of faulty units out there? I've attached some photos of my temperary wiring for checking.

No I didn't try 1024 in link mode so I'll give that a go tomorrow and get some photos of my connection. A lot of it is temperary just to check it all works before I tuck it all away. Also I'm not too sure how to "apply" that stream you attached either. Thanks for the replys though guys

Hello forum people! I seem to be having some issues getting my Spartan ADV3 to provide lambda values over CAN to my bmw e36 g4+ plug and play. Ive followed the config instructions that come with the spartan, I've even flashed the latest firmware onto the controller and tried it in the default mode (I assume it arrived in its default Spartan mode) and in Link mode. The CAN section of the runtime values are all green, and nothing is showing up in the Fuel section. I'm not 100% sure if there is any more configuration to be done in PcLink to display the Lambda values over CAN? The Spartan unit is already a replacement for a faulty one; it would be great if I can get this one working, I'm a bit over faulty parts tbh. I've posted my current PcLink setup. Please excuse any other setting in there that aren't correct, I haven't got to everything else yet. Cheers!! test.pclr
