Smart CDI Cam Question
Smart CDI Cam Question
(OP)
I've recently started a project for an experimental vehicle based around a Mercedes/Smart 800cc CDI diesel engine. I'm working first on getting the motor running with an aftermarket ECU but am having a tough time figuring out how the cam position is sensed by the ECU. There seems to be no sensor anywhere along the cam, cam drive or valve train. Since the injection is purely electrical the cam phase must be known by ECU in order to determine when a piston is in its compression stroke (yes?). Does anyone here have any experience with CDI Diesel engines that may offer some insight?
Thanks
Thanks

I can't help you on the technicals but I know that we get our ECU (and all other smart diesel accessories) from Shrick. They're in Germany and they're not particularly helpful but you might get lucky.

Good luck!
