Ah, good to hear, Rino that the fix was that simple.   You know how it goes – you got a 50-50 chance of hooking up two wire correct or incorrect – well, need I say more {:>)

Rino, check your Crank Angle Sensor input/wiring.

 

I recall someone having a problem whereby the EC3 diagnostics mode (which does not require/use  CAS input) would fire the plugs and injectors just fine, but when using the CSA input for actual running – the system had a problem.  Can’t recall if the problem was with the CAS sensor itself or hookup to the EC3.

You are right it goes only one way.  I removed it to find out, so this is not my problem, still searching.  I hesitated to remove the wheel because the engine is in the plane and it is hard to get at.  Thanks

If I remember correctly it will only fit one way.

Restarting the engine after the overhaul.  It seems to be running on rotor no. 1 only.

The diagnostics on the EC3 reveal that the injectors are firing and the spark plugs also.

 

My question is did I reinstall the timing wheel wrong.  It seems there is only one way (because of the bolt holes) to install that wheel.   Would installing it wrong give me the problem I got now?
