So... I am not an electric guy really at all. My question is this:

I have the 3.5bar map sensor from Kavlico (The AEM EMS one) and I am currently using it to do this... UTEC input, Zeitronix Input, Alchy Control Input, and MAFT Pro Input. So... I have one sensor outputting to four things... could this be altering the signal? I am assuming it is altering it slightly but in what way does it alter it for one and two could it make the readings at all less reliable (Like change the overall voltage curve) or would it just be linear in the fact of it being lower or higher across the board?

 

Anyone?

 

Probably not, I would be more concerned with what is providing the voltage to the 0-5v sensor then the sensor. Higher load (more devices= lower resistance) will increase the amp draw needed to reach 5v, it is possible to damage the sensor (but Kavlico claims to have over-voltage and short circuit protection built in) if the resistance it is seeing goes to low. There should be a White Paper on the sensor that will give you all of the information. Kevlico states "low power consumption" and "linear output". This sensor is a pretty rugged device and my guess is we are hardly taxing it. It would be interesting to hear from someone who has the specs on this device.

Well i could find the specs on it from thier site. I think I am providing the 5-volt in from the Zeitronix AND the Utec. I did notice that the boost is reading -0.02 to -0.04 on the Zeitronix where I think it used to read a flat zero before (With the car off).. I cant start it because the motor is hanging in the engine bay with no supports (No tranny). Thanks for the reply
