Does anyone have a method for creating a cam sensor on the BW M20 engine? In stock trim BMW uses a coil around the #6 spark plug wire to detect cam location. Can this sensor be made to work?
Thanks for the help.

Very clever and simple. Now I have to ask you about which coils and plugs you used. Do you have any pictures of the mounting? Thanks

The file is attached here Nicky761.

But you can't use the ign table or fuel table when our engines are different. But some settings should do.
