Sameh Yehia Posted July 29, 2015 Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 Helloi am using Audi R8 Coilpacks on BMW M52 Wasted Spark using ign 1 -2 3car starts but the spark plugs sometimes get fouled..i tested the coil but the spark is weak pin 2-4 signal and power ground is connected together to engine block spark edge is set fallingwhat could be the issue causing that?

Simon Posted July 29, 2015 Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 A week power supply to the coils could be one thing.Check you still have a full 12~14V at the coil while the engine is running. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sameh Yehia Posted July 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 Hi Simon,yes i have 13+ volt at while engine is running and same battery voltage engine off 12v...i guess this is enough to show strong spark...but my spark is very short even if you try to make a metal to metal contact it wont catch up to any close metal piece i gave pin 2-3 extra ground to the engine blockwhat about the spark edge ? any one knows the correct spark edge for these coils ?its 06E 905 115E part number Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sameh Yehia Posted July 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 tried rising edge toofrom searching around i read some people use an extra buffer circuit as these coils is low resistance,i tested my coils and it's 388ohm,can the link drive these coils? if not how to build that circuit ?

Simon Posted July 30, 2015 Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 Yep that is plenty high enough. As they are smart coils the current draw on the ECU will be very minimal.Have you tried different dwell settings? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sameh Yehia Posted July 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2015 i tried dwell from 2.5ms to 3ms that's the range i saw everyone uses online. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Kriedeman Posted July 31, 2015 Report Share Posted July 31, 2015 Hi Sameh,you may need to lift the dwell up some.Set to around 3.5 ms at 12 -13 volts from 1000 to 3000 rpm then drop to 3.0 ms through to 7000 rpmSet to around 4.0 ms at 12 - 13 volts from 1000 to 3000 rpm then drop to 3.5ms through to 7000 rpm.RememberThe higher the voltage the lower the dwell needs to be.The lower the voltage the higher the dwell needs to be.The higher the RPM the lower the dwell needs to be.Are you using resistored or non resistored spark plugs with these coils.RegardsDave.

chris164935 Posted August 16, 2015 Report Share Posted August 16, 2015 Not sure if you've solved your problem, but just in case: You could also try copying the ignition/dwell settings from the Audi TT base file (you should have this file from when you installed the PCLink software), since it is setup to use very similar ignition coils.
