Noisy RPM signal

When you say must I rarely do and don’t seem to suffer.

When you say noisey can you show us, is it always noisey or just when cranking,.

Shielded twisted wire is best, the shield grounded at the ECU end only. Twisting cable helps reduce magnetic interference which is the most likely cause of noise.

alao check all your earths

have you played with the filtering and arming thresholds?

This "noise" you have here is more likely just due to the poor trigger design.  Your engine position signal is coming from within a distributor that is connected via a loose mechanical coupling to a camshaft which is then connected to the crankshaft via a "rubber" belt. So you have mechanical backlash, valve train resonance and cam belt resonance all contributing to an inaccurate engine position signal.

Converting to a crank mounted trigger wheel is the proper fix.

The "RPM filtering" setting under trigger setup may help a little.

Thanks Adam! I will try it!
