Suzuki 1.6 16 valve help

Post by dwinthrup »

I have a 92 sidekick with a 1.6L 16 valve engine with a 5 spd.
The pcm is bad and I need to get this megasquirt setup.
I currently have a ms v2.2 with a ms2 board, 4 channel ignition/injection driver v1.0 and a MSNS extra daughter board v2.1.

I have been doing a lot of research and I'm not really finding any info of installing this into my sidekick.
From what I understand I can use the hall signal from the distributor, but I cannot get a straight answer on whether it's low to high or high to low.
how would i set this up in the tunerstudio for use with the stock distributor? I keep getting errors when i play with these settings.

take a DVOM with the positive lead to the signal and the negative lead to common and power the sensor up. Note the voltage output when there is no tooth at the tip of the sensor . Then note the voltage when there is a tooth at the tip. This is for you to determine . My research found nothing definitive either from reading material and repair manual information.

I'm not sure what you mean about the common wire but I did check it against ground.
I get 12 volts out with the vane off to the side of the sensor
I get 7 volts with the vane in front of the sensor
I took a pick of the distributor and I will post them when I get to a pc.
From what understand I have a hi to low setup and should wire it accordingly.
How would I activate this in the tunerstudio? Would this be the cas?

I figured out what you were referring to with the common from blue/black to the white wire at the distributor I got 5 volts with the vane at the sensor and 0 volt with the window at the sensor.
