Terminator X 24x / 58x Question
Terminator X 24x / 58x Question Trying to help a buddy out but don't have an answer so figured I would ask here as we don't have the patience to sit on hold with Holley tech support.
Machine shop mistakenly replaced a 24x crank with a 58x. He would like to fire up the engine at least. If the cam sensor is disabled and the Ignition Type changed to 58 tooth, would that work?
TIA

Missing tooth detection The 24xe (25 teeth) does NOT HAVE a "missing tooth" section.
Thus the ECU ONLY "sees" twenty-five signals per rev.
MY 60-2 (GM58x) does have a "missing tooth" section.
The method to "find" the missing two teeth is to measure the time between teeth.
That measurement is made twelve times between each tooth.
When the TWO tooth section is measured, that time is longer.
The crankshaft position is found.
The next need is Timing Lag measurement.
This is accomplished by measuring the CHANGE in time between teeth in an acceleration.
NOW we have the foundation for a 1/4* Spark Instant AND accurate Coil DWELL Control (saves coils)
Today, after 2006, ALL IC car engines built on THIS planet require this method.
