the crank angle and cam signal had a seporate harness that came around the front under a plate---and intermitantly shorted.

VN commodore-had a stand alone DFI pack-the DFI module was under the coil pack.
it was a lot different to the american version having 3 differnt length slots on the crank to trigger each cyl.and 18 slots to indicate engine speed and crank angle.the american has 1 i think to indicate no 1.

the 3 slots are different lenghts and the idea was it could work out what cyl was firing by looking at the other even spaced pulse.

it cant----if the engine kicks back or the rpm is irratic---big bang.

the later VP engine can turn off one coil during cranking and other times.untill its happer the engine is running properly.other cars im told do the same.

The wire running behind the plate is exactly what happened to mine.
