bin sulayiam Posted March 3, 2020 Report Share Posted March 3, 2020 Hi to all , i wired extreme g4 to 98 Mercedes w210 E55 but the car doesn't start . I got weak spark at cranking . my plan is direct spark + sequential injection so i wired the Mercedes coils (dual plugs) as driver 1 = cylinder 1 , driver 2=cylinder 2 ,...... trigger 1 is reluctor sensor(crank sensor) trigger 2 is hall sensor (cam sensor ) flywheel is 60-2 i am keeping the stock ecu to make transmission ecu happy so ect , iat in share with link ecu still not calibrated properly . i am not sure where is the problem , settings or may be the Mercedes Bosch coils although when i test the coils i got strong spark . please i need help . i attached the tune file .thank you w210 e55.pclr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted March 3, 2020 Report Share Posted March 3, 2020 Are the coils smart coils that have the igniter built in? To check measure the resistance between the signal wire and the 12V supply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adamw Posted March 4, 2020 Report Share Posted March 4, 2020 1 hour ago, mohammed said: the resistance is .5 ohms . Those are non-amplified coils, you will need to wire in ignitors or change to coils with built-in amplifiers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THANK YOU adamw. But How i know the suitable coils? How about the video that show the triggers that no proper synch Taking place While cranking, seems cam signal interupting or not consistant? Is it normal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted March 4, 2020 Report Share Posted March 4, 2020 Smart coils will have 3 or more wires and the resistance between power and signal will ne in the k to m ohms range. The coils you have will be fine if you fit an igniter in between the ECU and the coils. Trig 2 will often flash at cranking speed as it is only a single pulse in two turns of the crank. But basic set up should be I am not able to open your file for some reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mohammed Posted March 6, 2020 Report Share Posted March 6, 2020 Hi again , i replaced the coils with smart ones , now i am getting good spark at cranking but still the car not working !! i checked everything but still stuck . i put some fuel at intake manifold also no luck , my suspect the car flood of fuel may be ? M.R simon , i sent you my tune file to your email and please have a look perhaps you find the fix . beside i attached it here again . thanks to all . w210 e55.pclr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adamw Posted March 6, 2020 Report Share Posted March 6, 2020 Your trigger settings do not match what Simon gave you above. Fix the ones highlighted in pink to match Simons example. I would also suggest you change these two cells in your trigger 1 arming threshold table: Have you confirmed that ignition timing is correct with a timing light when cranking? If so and your 234deg trigger offset gives correct timing then you can also try subtracting 360deg (so try -126deg). The next step is to do a log when it is cranking and attach that here. How to do log: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_P1LRANeO4A And also do a trigger scope when cranking and attach here.

You need to confirm with a timing light, there is no other option. You may be able to paint a new TDC mark on the pulley underneath or somewhere where it is easier to see.

So i tried to adjust the triggers offset at calibrate section also doesnt work. When i input the value - 126 and pressed (done) nothing changed, How should adjusted?! Beside the scope doesnt record any signal, i pressed capture but also nothing!! My osciliscope does record the signals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mohammed Posted March 8, 2020 Report Share Posted March 8, 2020 I decides to open Holden v6 base map and guess what !? the car stars and idle !!! May be it is related to trigger offset . now , the trigger settings are different , how it starts ?! and i can rev up the engine , i tried to adjust ignition timing and there is a respond from engine. i attached log file and the tune file . please i need explanation my w210 e55 start.pclr after start.llg log 1 trigger issue.llg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to hit the enter key, you should see the number turn a blue colour when the change is applied. 17 hours ago, mohammed said: Beside the scope doesnt record any signal, i pressed capture but also nothing!!

The holden trigger mode is pretty similar to what you where using before except it has 4 teeth on the cam - I suspect it run just because the offset must be closer than what you where using before. Because the 4 teeth on the cam shaft it will only start sometimes and other times the timing will be off by 360 deg so you will need to change back to the multitooth/missing mode and do the offset calibration. If you get timing correct but it still wont start then you just need to add or subtract 360deg from your offset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mohammed Posted March 9, 2020 Report Share Posted March 9, 2020 Hello, Can you please tell me what numbers should i put at calibrate (triger offset)? I mean thr numbers close to my condition, just estimation? Should i try numbers above 360 or lower? Positve or negative? I am really lost here.

I have no idea as I have never touched one of these engines before. Since the Holden mode worked then try starting about 275 or -85. You just need to adjust the trigger offset until the timing marks on the pulley line up. If you cant even see the timing marks that adjust in larger steps like 30deg until you can see the mark, then move in smaller increments when it gets closer. Once you have the marks lined up then if it doesnt start you then need to add or subtract 360deg from that value (as there is no way to know if you are sparking at TDC compression or TDC exhaust stroke when checking with a timing light).

Hi, I become to a point that tried various numbers offsets but i was not lucky to find the correct Timing i even not see the Timing marks !. Then i load the holden triger this time i switched to reluctor as trigger 1, the vhichle starts fine as usual but when i calibrate the trigger offset i can see 10 degree by the gun light as i increase to 20 degree at the spark table i noticed that Timing marks goes toward 0 dtc is that normal at this stage? By the way, when i was programming the oem ecu there is negative values at spark tables. Should i keep the holden triger settings and starts from their?

mohammed Posted March 12, 2020 Report Share Posted March 12, 2020 Finally i see the marks at the pully flactuating between 10 - 20! WITH OFFSET 145, now what number should i put at middle value? And HOW YOU CALCULATE IT? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted March 12, 2020 Report Share Posted March 12, 2020 When in calibrate mode the timing should be stable and not move. If you are seeing movement that would indicate something is not happy. Can please do a trigger capture with the Trig one set as reluctor and post here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mohammed Posted March 14, 2020 Report Share Posted March 14, 2020 Hello , car starts at -83 trigger offset and the timing light was reporting 10 degree , but when i shut off the car then try to start it again it doesn't starts at same trigger offset !! this is strange ? here is crank/cam scope and the tune file . starts finally.pclr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
