  1. 4A-GE 16V Small Port - Trigger Signal Not Read

    in G4x

    Posted

    I seem to have been able to make the ISCV work with the AC clutch now... Just a little bit more fine adjustments. Could you check if there's something I missed? If I put the Idle Actuator Max Clamp higher than 43%, that's when it hunts idle when AC is on. It seems to be stable and keeping target idle if I limit it at 43%.
    ...there's also higher tendency to hunt idle whenever I put the PWM frequency 400Hz or lower.

    If you get rid of the dedicated AC VSV you can just adjust the AC Offset Table and the AC Idle up setting to change the IACV Position and the target idle speed respectively when AC is turned on, adjust these values so that the closed loop control doesn't have to respond to it because it has been taken care of by the open loop values.

    I adjusted the AC idle up and offset table, but the IACV is not responding fast enough with AC clutch engagement -the idle dips too much and eventually cuts-off (I've set AC control to cut-off at 750rpm and below.

    Update: I've been able to use the 2-wire IACV, though I still need to finetune the settings (PWM frequency/gain/min&max clamp, etc.) to make it respond properly to AC request. As of the moment I still have an idle up VSV opening with AC clutch engagement and the IACV is able to compensate plus or minus to maintain target idle speed. Though of course ideally the IACV should be able to handle it solely. 

    I guess proper closed loop idle control is really tricky, huh? :P

    I have just connected the other dizzy assembly, the trigger signal seems cleaner. :)  the tiny signal on 360° seems to be the G1 which is not connected (gap already set to max). Would it make it any better if I connect both G1 & G2 trigger 2 and set the position as crank instead of cam? 

    I had this Mallory Hyfire 6EZL for the past 11 yrs on the stock ECU and never had problems with it (except when the ground wire terminal corroded, where it also caused spark scatter). The reason I used this one with the 'EZ' trigger is that at least the stock ECU would not go crazy looking for the IGF signal as the stock coil is still present (not having to resort to using a tach adapter - which is more complex). I guess it is just sending the high voltage back to the same ground as the ignition box...

    If ever I'll notice some spark scatter, I'll try to do your recommendation to just use the stock coil. :)

    @Adamwhi... All plugs are similar resistor type. I'll check the inside of the dizzy later, maybe there's some debris by the tooth.

    If it matters, the stock coil is actually only connected as a trigger to my old high energy capacitive discharge ignition box Mallory 6EZL. The stock igniter and ignition box are both grounded directly to cylinder head with a thick gauge wire (to minimize the ground loop). The ECU wire loom came through the right side of the car, then all ignition related wires came through the left side. 

    I have adjusted the trigger 2 arming threshold @1000rpm to 2.5V, but still getting the spark scatter. 

    Perhaps I'll find my spare dizzy assembly and try it out again with it. :)

    Thanks...

    If it is hunting with the idle valve closed or at a fixed position then there is something else tune related going on.  Attach a log and your tune if you want me to take a look.

    Thanks... 

    It is hunting when I fully close the idle air bleed valve, then let the ISC solely control the idle. Sometimes it stalls. 

     I'll complete all the wirings, then I'll see if the idle hunting persists.

    The way the exhaust smells, it seems like it is going lean. I'll be able to verify once my Spartan LC2 has been installed. :)

    I'll keep you posted. :D

    Sorry, I had somebody elses 4AGE map open which had the IAC set up problem.  Yours looks ok.

    You should be able to completely close the idle valve so a restrictor shouldnt be needed. Does the idle slow down if you unplug the valve? 

    The mechanical idle valve has been blocked off (from before due to piston already stuck)...

    If I fully close the idle air bypass valve screw, the ISC small opening seems to make it hunt for idle.

    In your first pic it shows a valid signal, but you have the 24T sensor connected to trig 2 and the signal tooth to trig 1, they need to be swapped.  

    Wow, started after I swapped the pins on the dizzy connector!

     Thanks Adam. :)

    Now time to complete the wirings, and also fiddle with the settings of the custom 2-wire IACV as it is going crazy shooting the idle very high.

    Good day,

    Engine is a 4A-GE 16V small port (converted to RWD config, and I also did all the ECU/engine harness years back). Was running fine before with the stock ECU with pretty much all the needed functions.

    I have wired in the G4X MonsoonX, but now it seems that the triggers (using stock 24-teeth crank/G2 cam triggers) are sometimes being read, sometime not.
    Surely it is not starting. Ignition is working as tested from coil output.
    *Some of the ancillaries not yet connected (LC2 controller, AC clutch control, etc.) but all essentials are already connected.

    What else am I missing as to why the triggers are not being read correctly? All connections are checked to be good from the ECU connector the loom side connector to dizzy.

  14. Tach reading 600rpms high

    It is very usual with Toyota tachs to have off readings after power on (engine still off) whenever the capacitors on the gauge PCB have bloated.
    If I remember it right, there should be two 6.8uF 25V capacitors. They're not so easy to find, but they can be substituted with 10uF 25V without any problems.
