I like the direction you’re going, and perhaps I missed this, but one other alternative: Weld a separate pipe to the base and slide the existing pipe over top with graphite (or size the inner pipe with bearings) and drill holes every 45deg for locking. I would consider this approach if the thing is ...

The only other production vehicle sensors I could locate were these two for Ford/Mercury/Mazda and GM vehicles, which appear to ultimately be from the same source. That is, the earlier versions were by Siemens, which sold off its automotive parts division to Continental around the same time this des...

When this does happen, will anything obvious and user-facing getting the boot? (eg. locally hosted images)

Thanks for the head's up.

Most commercial and non-commercial EFI solutions/projects I’ve looked at appear to gravitate to this sensor family, quite a few of the former simply rebranding it with their company logo and upselling it. Pretty much anything other than the genuine Continental units (found most easily and affordably...

The MT site solely targets the 3 Continental sensors I referenced above. In the absence of official docs from Continental, that's the most information I can find anywhere. One important detail I missed in my earlier post: The output signal frequency range is 50-150Hz, with a higher frequency range r...

Correction to the above: 3 mounting holes. Information on these popular sensors is fairly scattered across other EFI project websites, so I wrote Continental and requested white papers on the family line. Having said that, miataturbo.net has the most information I've seen online and all in one place...

Flex fuel sensor thread: viewtopic.php?f=16&t=2875

Out here in Kansas, we have lots of corn for cars and wheat for beer. Not much else. So I hit Fred up about E85 and thought I'd start looking into ideal hardware for sensing fuel composition. The gold standard of flex fuel sensors used by GM, Haltech , and commonly in the aftermarket scene is Contin...

Most of the goals I aimed for have been met.

Current interests:

1. Learning to write decoder files
2. Flex fuel support
3. Drive-by-wire; cruise control

#1 is useful for the project as a whole.
#2 is mostly fact-finding.
#3 will require changes to my throttle body or intake manifold.

That way they can stop crying about FreeEMS being so rigid.

This is the best thing I've read in a tremendously long time, emphasis mine, and spot on about safety and reliability.
