won't rev past 3500rpm

Post by stoil.k »

hi guys,
i really have a big problem and will be very thankful, if someone of you can give me a tip how to deal with it. I'm running MS1 on a bmw old m20 engine using the original 60-2 wheel and vr sensor. Everything is working perfectly but the engine won't rev past 3500rpm. It's like a launch control. To read the signal i'm using lm1815 mod. I've tried to put resistor on VRIN and nothing changes.

I am only using 36-1 with lm1815 but did have an issue around 3000rpm also. I run the lm1815 with pin14 to ground (no timing resistor and capacitor). I have pin12 connected straight to pin6 of the MS's opto isolator and I had to delete the resistor from lm1815 VR input to ground, (300r).
