So, I have a 2.0l 16v that I have done an R1 carb conversion on. I have everything squared away, at least for it to run for a few minutes, but it won't go. I've narrowed it down to what I believe is an ignition issue. I've currently got it hooked up just using an ICM. It is goes as follows:
Pin #1 - trigger, or negative on coil
Pin #2 - Battery negative
Pin #3 - Hall sender negative
Pin #4 - 12v Coil, power
Pin #5 - Hall sender positive
Pin #6 - Hall signal
I am getting spark when it cranks over, made sure of it by pulling all the plugs and having someone turn it over for me. Nice blue spark was produced. The coil is brand new. Dizzy cap and rotor have maybe 500 miles on them, they came off my previous GLI. I tested the hall sender signal as per the Bentley, and it seems to be fine. I stuck the multimeter in the signal wire, hooked it up to battery negative and moved the motor by hand. It would go between 0v and 8.7v. From what I read that is normal. I have the Dizzy rotated clockwise a bit to try and retard the timing. I have 2 ICM's that I've tried it with. A stock one from a rabbit I got off ebay, and another one that TT had programmed a 22* timing "curve" into. I called Colin at TT and talked to him, he said it could have trouble starting with the ICM they sent me as it didn't turn out quite how he wanted it to and to try it with a stock ICM. Tried it, still no luck. That tells me it's something that doesn't have to do with that portion.. I think at least. One thing I did notice, is that If I unplug the hall sender, the motor will just continually crank. If I have it plugged in however, it will crank for a second, then struggle to turn over, and repeat for about 3-4 cycles. It's strange, and doesn't strike me as something normal.
Am I missing something crucial and/or simple? Any thoughts? Thanks in advance.
