Ecumaster forum

after being ill for just over a month im just about to build my loom

what sensors should use shielded cable

i will be running a hall crank sensor ( 12v ) ( not useing the vr had problems with them and high rpm on the megasquirt )
1 if not 2 knock sensors
cam sensor
2 egt for now but will swap between all 4 cylinders (swap plugs around )
tps ( wont shield that )
toyota cop ( used to use ecotec coil pac on megasquirt but going full seq this time round )


thinking useing shieled for hall,knock and cam is this right ?

when useing shielded wheres the best place to ground the sheilding to block along with power ground /device ground ??

many thanks for the help

Yes use the shielded cable for the sensor you have listed.
In general VR sensors are better than Halls in aspect of reliability.

Connect shields only at one side (eg. EMU) for sensor / emu ground

thank you kuba

yes i no they arent as reliable but they are easyer to get for my engine than the vr types not knocking the vr used it for years with megasquirt and my brothers car is still on one but they are getting harder to get now days gen ones anyways oem ones arnt as good
