Yes, that's interesting and would be a good test.
If the output from the sensor is being delivered in pure voltage terms, is it reasonable to presume that the ECU will only translate and react based on what voltage it sees?
For instance, maybe the ECU is programmed to disregard anything in the 1 to 2 volt range.
Would it be reasonable to surmise that if the ECU "sees" 4v out of phase with the standard ignition sequence, it deduces "detonation!" and pulls [retards, Trevor
] the ignition?
Maybe there are different ignition retardation responses for increasing voltages? Does anybody know the score on this process?
