I respectfully disagree.  The CPS sensor is looking for iron teeth, which
is a fairly dense metal with lots of magnetic field interraction.  I
thought that Fidanza flywheels had aluminum teeth, which have neither said
qualities.  The CPS signal can't see motion from teeth that it doesn't
see, now, can it?

Disappointing, isn't it?  I bet that if the sensor could be adjusted
deeper into the bellhousing, the CPS would have less trouble.

This makes sense.  Keep us posted, please.  I'd like to someday have an
ultralight flywheel for my B15, and it most likely has the same CPS
problem (haven't really talked to anybody with ultralights).  A lightened
OEM flywheel would look just like a stock flywheel to the CPS, though...
