    As Phil advised.......adding to the coil "Query"....One coil per cylinder we use...You need both the crank and phase sensor so the ECU knows which is No.1 cylinder...

    Is the crank a crank angle? What do you mean by phase sensor?

    Hi Matty,

    You need a tdcc no1 reference to run sequential injection and ignition, this is provided by the phase sensor in a cossie but can also be triggered by the cam shaft.

    Cheers,

    Phil.

    The easiest option for anyone (I said easiest not best) because I am lazy.

    Retain the distributor with phase sensor and make a cap for it (or leave the distributor cap in place). You may need it to drive the oil pump anyway. Also means you do not have to drill cam to take the sensor trigger.



    As itchy's motor the WRC position was for ease of replacement or maybe even a redundant sensor (the WRC cars also used a twin bracket crank sensor).
