I've been following this explanation and walkthrough of testing the MPS; https://members.rennlist.com/pbanders/manif...sure_sensor.htm, and I've come across a problem.
My MPS holds vacuum, I've got correct resistance readings on each of the coils, confirmed that they were isolated properly, so I moved on to adjusting. At 15 in. Hg, reading were correct (.71H). I found that I couldn't get the MPS to reach any higher than 0.9 H with my inductance meter at either the 4 in Hg or 0 in. Hg. I pulled the MPS apart, and measured again with it open (nothing pushing back on the main armature shaft with the armature shaft stops in place). The armature stops don't appear to be bent. With the armature shaft pushed in all the way, I get a reading of 0.45 H. Any thoughts? Is this MPS toast? I can't figure out why it won't register more than 0.9 H, which i way off from 1.44 H. |

I can tell you that the meter makes all the difference. My cheap meter #s were way low so I bought the LCR55A. Using the LCR55A I was able to calibrate to the PBanders numbers easily. And as I'm sure guys will point out, tuning to the PBanders #s won't necessarily tune the MPS to your specific engine.
This is quite literally where I am at with my car and had the same issue. #s way off with cheap meter, got the good meter, #s spot on, still runs like a turd. I'm now in the process of installing a Fuel/Air Meter system this week to help get it dialed in. Good luck! For reference below, these were the #s I got with my cheap meter and wasn't able to adjust close to where I needed. The LCR55A solved that problem. @PBanders Sea Level Numbers for 0"/4"/15" - 1.40/1.20/.74 @20H My MPS ----------------------------- 0"/4"/15" - .95/.84/.63 @20H |
