Diesel ref counter signal??

Post by ForYota »

Dagse Mede Luxers,

Wie van julle slim manne kan vir my se waar om die ref signal op te tel vanaf n diesel enjin..

Ek weet my bestaande refcounter ( 4Y ) sal nie kan werk nie, maar die idee is om die signal aan n micro controller te koppel wat dan die informasie op n klein lcd skerm sal display.. ek gaan die micro controller in elkgeval instaleer want die gaan my glowplugs ( cold and warm start ) sowel as engine temperatuur, asook die elektriese fan unit wat op die intercooler is beheer... ja ek weet ek is nie lus vir n klompie toggle switches en push buttons nie...

Enige hulp sal waardeer word asb :beg:

Ps: Waar raak die temperatuur hoogte n gevaar vir n diesel? (2.5 ford tdi) 95 grade? Daar gaan ook n klain alarm gekoppel word aan die gevaar sone temp..

On your timing cover, just above the power steering pump on the driver side there is a sensor with 2 wires

If you are a diesel fan, raise your hand.
If you aren't raising your hand, raise your standards!

A 4x4 is merely a machine that enables you to get stuck further away from civilization.
