I verified the reference sensors were attached to the correct wiring harness connectors but have not verified the sensor gap. Attached another longer starting attempt with the VEMS and Triggerlog.

How do you access the trigger log function of the VEMS software?
I don't see any sort of voltage scale in your screenshots, but I would start by checking the speed/reference mark sensor gaps. It is possible that the mechanic who worked on the car removed the adjustable sensor bracket instead of pulling the individual sensors before the bell housing was removed.

The trigger log function is in the tools menu. Checking the sensor gap will be difficult without an old sensor to glue a washer to. I do believe that it is possible that the sensor bracket was not reinstalled with the correct gap but I was hoping to verify that this is the primary issue prior to ordering a used sensor to use to check the gap.

Does anybody have a trigger logs from a running 951 to compare to or see any issues with the logs I posted?

First off, I’ve mentioned this a few times, and is easiest way without loosing a washer or wasting a sensor. Build up layers on e tape on the sensor face, until the thickness is .8mm. Trim around the circle. Check/set gap. Remove tape. Done.
Second thing, which flywheel was used with push clutch? Same as before or new?

I had to switch to the LR Spec Steel flywheel with the push clutch setup: https://www.lindseyracing.com/LR/Porsche/SP-44S-2.html

Yeah, sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but that flywheel WILL NOT work with VEMS.
No way around it. You can try and try, it WILL NOT work.
I suggest, as painful as it sounds, purchasing and installing the TTV 60-1 951 Flywheel. Only about $500, and will solve trigger issues forever. We did a group buy on them a little while back.

Wow. That is very unfortunate; I don't believe the LR push clutch setup will work with that flywheel. I saw on the other post, they were attempting to resolve the trigger with a crankshaft trigger here: http://www.clewett.com/index.php?mai...products_id=30
Any thoughts on that idea?
