Hello Burns -
I've not yet done an M800.. but have used both magnetic and hall effect sensors on M48's. The mag sensors always seem to give errors on cranking from what I've seen, but then no errors when running. Are you saying in your post that the motor fires then dies? - if so has it ever worked ok? are you losing a power feed when 'not' cranking?
As Ross says, the hall effect sensors (powered) give a much more friendly signal to diagnose (square wave) and I have cars running sequential with hall effects that can start - run for a journey - then stop and indicate zero errors. Speaking with Peter Knight of Knight Racing Services over here, he reckons he's not done an engine running mag sensors that does not indicated errors at some point - and as many will testify his motors haul-ass!
You can adjust the trigger levels (sensitivity) manually in the setup for mag sensors on the M48 so I guess you can on the M800 too. I'll find out as I have an M880 to fit at some point soon, although I'll probably use hall effect if poss. Let us know how you get on..
