Mad Professor 7 Posted April 29, 2006 (edited) Hi All. I have finished work on my mate Mi16 Conversion. The car did not what to start, No fuel or spark. I removed the cam sensor from the gearbox, and ran it quickly over metal, and the fuel pump & spark kicked in. The length of this CAS Sensor is 23mm. I know with my megasquirt that the senor is ment to be 0.75mm-1.50mm away from the trigger wheel. With this sensor and the Mi16 Auto Trigger Wheel The sensor looks to have a gap of aprox 6-7mm, Witch is way to much. So is there any over CAS sensor's witch are around 30mm in length? Thanks for your time. Edited April 30, 2006 by Mad Professor Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Cartooner Posted April 30, 2006 (edited) Mine is the same length as Yours! (So Your girlfriend says .....sorry had to do it) Mine is from a D6C out of a citroen Bx that came equipped with a BE3 Mi16 gearbox. Perhaps the type of gearbox is the problem. Can't You grind down the mounting place of the sensor? Although 6mm is a lot I guess. I have done some searches on CAS sensors, because I wondered if they were interchangeable, but haven't come across any convincing answers yet. Maybe You have the wrong sensor for the gearbox You use. Good Luck. Edited April 30, 2006 by Cartooner Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mad Professor 7 Posted April 30, 2006 If I can't find a longer sensor even if thay are real, It looks like I am going to have to attack the Autobox with my belt sander. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Miles 331 1 Cars Posted April 30, 2006 I think you;ve hit the nail on the head there with the Auto box, This will be different to the Manual box, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pug_ham 244 3 Cars Posted May 1, 2006 Time to get happy with the belt sander, unless anyone else has a better idear.Fit a manual gearbox? Auto's use a different flywheel & clutch assembly to the manual gearbox cars & I can't see an auto box coping to well with an Mi driving it. Graham. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mad Professor 7 Posted May 4, 2006 Well eveything is now back in the car, and I am happy to say with the mod to the gearbox then Mi16 now run's. I do have a new problem tho with I will make a new post about Autobox Problems, Won't drive Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mad Professor 7 Posted May 15, 2006 Well the gear box looks like it has seen it's last days, so phill has just got a reconed box, and due to this I can not mod this box to fit the 23mm sensor, So can anyone please confirm where we can a CAS sensor for an auto, New Or Used.
