Is it possible to run a 3 cylinder engine with coil on plug without a cam sensor
Thanks Dave

Yes, so long as you have crank sensor with a gap. and minimum of S60 and I think equal fire engine, i.e 120 deg crank
Re: s60 3 cylinder coil on plug settings
I'm guessing - set it up as a 6 cylinder with 3 coils running wasted spark?

Just tried it on the software as 3 cyl and it tells you you need COP, fine. But you mustn't say yes to COP in 'COP settings' a bit contradictory but I'm sure it will work fine.

Thanks for the replies .If I set the number of cylinders to 3 it only fires coil output 1 cylinder 1
If I set number of cylinders to 6 it fires 1 ,2 and 3 and starts
If I set number of cylinders to 6 it fires 1 ,2 and 3 and starts

Weird, but glad you are sorted
Re: s60 3 cylinder coil on plug settings
It does the same thing on a 5 cylinder engine!
Set it to 10 cylinder engine and it'll run wasted spark without a cam sensor but if you say its a 5 cylinder and try to run it wasted it won't work!

Of course it won't! To run wasted, the stated cylinder count has to be divisible by two.gnutz2 wrote:It does the same thing on a 5 cylinder engine!

Re: s60 3 cylinder coil on plug settings
If running the engine on a config setup which appears incorrect...I'd be checking ignition timing is correct on every cylinder. Just incase it runs...but is not actually running 100% correctly.
Re: s60 3 cylinder coil on plug settings
Why? The coil is just firing twice per cycle, 180 deg apart - the timing is either correct or it isn't - if the tooth gap angle is wrong then timing will still be wrong, just twice as often LOL!stevieturbo wrote:If running the engine on a config setup which appears incorrect...I'd be checking ignition timing is correct on every cylinder.
