After more testing and coding I am back to thinking there is something wrong with my setup. I won't be able to get back to this until Sunday earliest, but Peter, if you want to test Rob's msq and his code version on the bench with a simulated 130 tooth wheel that would be helpful. What you would be looking for are loss of synch - the rpm gauge will momentarily flick to 0. But the best way is to bring up the spare gauge labeled spare 1 or 2 or maybe reset. You can tell you have the right gauge because it will come up as 1 and if you are synched and cut off the tach signal it will increment. So you can walk away and come back an hour later and if it is still 1 there were no resynchs, if it counts to 5, there were 5 resynchs. But what I am seeing are continuous resynchs, several per sec, then after I have fooled around or made a code change, they go away and it is rock solid for hours. Then I leave it exactly as is with power off and go to bed. When I wake up and turn everything on it resynchs all over the place.

Let me know if you need a hand with this.

Not necessarily. That depends how you define the wheel pattern. Both outputs can rise and fall independently.

More importantly, yesterday morning I switched to falling edge with 0 delay teeth and had no resyncs at all. So I pulled over on my way to work and changed back to 26 delay teeth and -9 offset, keeping falling edge and had no resync. So at any delay teeth/offset and falling edge, I haven't gotten any resyncs in 40 minutes of driving time.

Please let me know if you guys want me to try anything else on my end. All the support is awesome.

I grounded the shield to Chassis ground, connected the 944 (-) wire of the twisted pair to Microsquirt harness vrin(-) and connected 944 (+) wire to vrin1(+) as labeled on the wires.

Checking the microsquirt website, the wire labeled vrin1(+) goes to pin 32.
