Ok, so it seems like no matter how much love I give LH2.4 it hates me in return.
Car is a 1990 740 Turbo w/15g and Mike's chips. I have been tweaking the fuel tables but this shouldn't be related as it happens on factory firmware as well.
When driving suddenly the ignition will cut out, tacho will drop to 0. Sometimes it will only do it briefly and the car will continue running, sometimes it will "fritz out" for several seconds and the needle will go bonkers.
Sometimes I can put it in neutral and restart, sometimes I end up coasting to the shoulder and playing with it to get it to start again. Sometimes it will start right back up, sometimes it will start rough, backfire, and generally misbehave until it dies.
So far this has only happened when the car is warm.
Throttle input seems to make no difference. My TPS is set correctly because I can see the overrun fuel cut happen on the WB02 when I coast for a few seconds.
I would normally suspect the usual ignition components (cap, rotor, coil, etc) except for the fact that at least two or three times after cranking has stopped the needle has continued to bounce around on its own, sometimes even pegging out at 7k briefly.
I have swapped EZK and LH computers with no difference. The only thing that makes sense to me is the crank sensor. Is this correct or am I barking up the wrong tree?
