A noisy CAS signal / bad ground is the bane of 2nd gen CAS with RX7's. A search for a 3800rpm hesitation on the RX7 will yield a lot of hits. It is grounding related. Are the CAS wires shielded? Is the shielded wire grounded to the EC-2 end only? Is the EC-2 grounded to the engine or battery? I am not sure what Tracy is using for signal conditioners- a small capacitor across the CAS G+/- wires has helped on the Megasquirt. Have you scoped the signal? You won't want to hear this either, but, most fuel pumps are only good for a small number of air sucking/overheat events. Also applies if you uncover the inlet doing hard sideslips on empty tanks or whatever. Your current pumps are one step closer to dying. Cheers Cary
