Rino,

Surging could be = caused by the=20 EC-3 hunting for a map table address.  Are you quite certain = that this=20 is not related to the map table?

Tracy,

 

Anyone had a problem = with the=20 Renesis crank angle sensor and had to change it.  I may have to = get a=20 new crank angle sensor, but first I want to check with you=20 guys.

 

Tracy is=20 probably gone to Colorado, maybe someone got this = problem=20 before.

I cannot get full = power on my=20 Renesis for takeoff on Controller A.  Seems like = controller B=20 works OK.

It is not the fuel = mixture, I=20 tried that.  Actually, when the throttle is wide open the = mixture=20 display goes up and down rapidly, from full lean to full rich and = the engine=20 surge.

 

I had a similar = problem when I=20 first installed and started the Renesis.  I had the EC2 = controller then=20 and had to get the EC3 to fix the problem.  Now it is coming = back to me=20 on the EC3, I think.  The problem then was with the crank = sensor, the=20 EC2 could not handle the sensor signal at more than about 5000=20 rpm.

 

I think the problem = started=20 progressively during the last few hours of flight, at first I = thought it was=20 a fuel mixture problem and was trying to ajust for that but now it = is not a=20 mixture problem.  Since the controller B has NO temp. sensor = and works=20 ok, I wonder if it has anything to do with that problem on = controller=20 A.
