FL Need Help! MS3 V3.0 CAS Wiring

Hey guys, im in the process of trying to start my car and im having trouble getting any kind of RPM signal (no RPM signal no fuel/spark). Can anyone help me out with what needs to be done to get this CAS sensor to work? All i did is Jumper TachSelect to VRIN and TSEL to VROUT as it states to do on the website. no other modifications have been made. I also have the premaid harnesses from DIY, can anyone tell me the exact wiring by color and number i need for the CAS? i used the DIY website and this is what they are saying:

NE+ - Red on stock clip - Main Board pin 24
NE- - White on stock clip - Main board pin 2

Then for the "Cam sensor" it is saying to use the DB15? i dont have a DB15 and i bought the DB37 from DIY. Can anyone tell me what pins to use for G+ and G-? Also on pin 2 the wire is the shield for the shielded wire, is this the right thing to wire up on NE-? i really do need some help with this. All i want to do is start my car. Please any help will be appreciated!

Thanks

Okay so I've PMed OP with this already but I though it would be nice to public post it too

Aaron Cake posted up a video of his MS3 Pro build:


skip to 44:50 when he started to wire up the CAS, if anyone can help you with MS3 it would be Aaron, sorry I can't help you much more than this.

I know you don't have the MS3 "Pro", but I think Aaron said that the wire colors would be the same... again I'm not an expert.

Been following your build and good job with what you've done so far and hope you get her running soon.

Thanks! I watched this video a few times now and for some reason the OEM CAS just isnt working out for me. I was doing some research lastnight and i think im going to go with the Full Function Engineering Trigger Wheel kit for my FC. This way i eliminate any headaches and any issues with noise etc... Let me know what you guys think about going this route.

Make sure you get the hall sensor option.

Yeah that's what I got. Should be here early next week! Hopefully wiring this thing up is much easier and maybe I'll finally get a result.

The DB15 is on the 3.57 board. If you have a 3.0 board, you 'd use spare pins on the DB37 and build the second VR circuit on the prototype area as shown here:

http://www.aaroncake.net/rx-7/megasq...andmodding.asp

With the 3.57, the best option is to get the Zeal daughtercard and use one of the VR conditioners on it. Then bring the second VR in through the DB15 using whatever pins you want.

Edit...and oops, noticed you have an MS3. So with you MS3, follow the MS2 instructions and build the VR circuit. Unless you are using MS3X, in which case your 2nd VR is already on the MS3X board so you just need to set the jumpers correctly then bring the connections out of the case on either the DB15 or DB37.
