Engine Surges / RPM Hunting
Diagnosis & fix steps
LOGIC: Rotary Engine Speed Dial Potentiometer Signal Erratic.
ACTION: Connect a multimeter to the center wiper wire of the 3-pin rotary throttle switch. Sweep the dial slowly from 1 to 10; verify signal sweeps smoothly from 0.5V to 4.5V without voltage drops.
Red Seal field insights
Wiper Wear: Operating cab vibration causes the internal carbon resistive track to wear through at common operating notches (e.g., notch 8/10), sending erratic RPM commands to the ECM.
