EC3 Controller
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.
