The MSD 2348 sensor is supposed to work on 8 to 18 volts. I was powering it with 8 volts.
I'm going to try it as is to make sure it's the cause of the problem. Then I plan to power it up with 12 volts.
I'm thinking using the bottom of the allowable voltage might not be the best for the sensor.
Am I right?
