CAS sensor problem

Hi guys,

Advance timing = anti clockwise rotation on cas = higher timing value on pfc

Retard = clockwise = lower timing value

Right?

The issue is, my pfc reads lower timing when i advance , and higher value when i retard.

Will this point out to a faulty CAS or wiring between the 2 signal wires swapped around ?

my mechanic recently did an FFP upgrade and he messed around with some of the wirings, because he wanted to tidy up the engine bay.

Hoping if any can shed some light if its a simple as just swapping the wires or should i replace the cas?

yea is starts fine. just troubleshooting a weird high rpm misfire. but i finally got arround to figuring this cam timing vs crank timing .

Advance timing = anti clockwise rotation
Retard = clockwise

applies to cam timing

Advance timing = clockwise rotation
Retard = anti clockwise

is for crank.

the cas is a crank angle sensor mounted onto the cam. therefore advance is clockwise.

and i just learn that the service manual says advance -

Because the further before tdc the spark plug fires the more advanced it is as its occurring earlyer on in the cycle

High rpm misfire first place I would go to is plugs. Then to coil packs and ignitor if that didn't fix it. 

When you get the high rpm misfire is it only WOT or are you able to Rev past at partial throttle with no issue?

also moving the cas does not change the timing on the PowerFC..

you need to sync what the PowerFC is telling the car to do... playing around with the CAS blinding will result in this scenario:

  • PowerFC tells motor 15
  • Motor is actually at 25
  • Go on boost, and blow motor because you're 10 degrees more than what you're supposed to be at

Yes, you will now say "but the PowerFC numbers are changing as I play with the CAS" - that is correct as you play with the cas your motor behaves differently and then jumps into a different cell which may have a timing value of 20 degrees.. that is what you're reading.

      My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.

      Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).

      Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers

      Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
