Hello everyone.
Im wondering if anyone has experienced a problem with a K21 engine not firing on all cylinders.
This is a Mitsubishi FG18ZN 2007.
LPG nissan K21 engine.
It suddenly stopped sparking on all cylinders.
Cioled down for a few hours then started sparkling again.
Did this several times over several weeks.
Then ceased to spark, displayed E28 fault.
Ckeared the fault with the "pedal dance"
Removed the crank and cam sensors, they appeared to be Chinese, images attached
Purchased both sensors from TVH , they had no markings on them, so probably chinese also.Installed and only firing on one cylinder. Displayed e34 fault. Cleared the fault.
Now seems to fire in cylinders 1 and 3, other plugs spark but don't fire.
Engine will stop once starter is disengaged.
Putting the original crank sensor back in didn't change anything.
Putting the original cam sensor back in resulted in no spark and rhe E28 fault again.
Appreciable any advice, thanks in advance for your time!

Ignition systems on these units need constant maintenance. Possible to get back sensors out of the box order new ones. But here's some specs for the unit if you need more specific let me know
* Integrated ignition coil Primary coil resistance: 0.9 - 1.2 O
Secondary coil resistance: 20 - 29K O
* Pickup assembly Pickup coil resistance: 420 - 540 O
* Air gap between signal rotor and pickup assembly 0.35 - 0.45 mm
Incident in ignition
system
* Condenser malfunction Replace. v
* Electric leakage from rotor cap and rotor Clean or replace. v
* Spark plug malfunction Clean, adjust gap or replace. v
* Inappropriate ignition timing Adjust. v
* Ignition coil malfunction Replace. v
* Open circuit in high-tension cable Replace. v
E-28 Phase sensor fault
1. When PHASE signal is not detected
for a length of time when the engine
is being started.
2. When PHASE signal is not detected
for a length of time when the engine
is running (during POS signal input).
3. When abnormal PHASE signal wave
is detected for a length of time when
the engine is running (during POS
signal input)
E-34 Ignition system fault
1. When there is no generation of igni-
tion signal continuously when the
engine is running.
Thanks for the assistance.
I did update this post, but it isn't showing.
A genuine cam sensor fixed the problem.
Buy only factory crank and cam sencers also check coils for spark and wiring to coils the signal comes from the ecm to the signal wire of the coil to spark the coils each coil has its own signal wire to fire the coils seperate.
