Rino,
I just noticed that there is a
service alert for EC-3s shipped prior to 6-1-08. When did you get
yours?
Surging could be caused by the
EC-3 hunting for a map table address. Are you quite certain that this
is not related to the map table?

Controller
Anyone had a problem with the
Renesis crank angle sensor and had to change it. I may have to get a
new crank angle sensor, but first I want to check with you
guys.
Tracy is
probably gone to Colorado, maybe someone got this problem
before.
I cannot get full power on my
Renesis for takeoff on Controller A. Seems like controller B
works OK.
It is not the fuel mixture, I
tried that. Actually, when the throttle is wide open the mixture
display goes up and down rapidly, from full lean to full rich and the engine
surge.
I had a similar problem when I
first installed and started the Renesis. I had the EC2 controller then
and had to get the EC3 to fix the problem. Now it is coming back to me
on the EC3, I think. The problem then was with the crank sensor, the
EC2 could not handle the sensor signal at more than about 5000
rpm.
I think the problem started
progressively during the last few hours of flight, at first I thought it was
a fuel mixture problem and was trying to ajust for that but now it is not a
mixture problem. Since the controller B has NO temp. sensor and works
ok, I wonder if it has anything to do with that problem on controller
A.
