Hi guys, first post, hopefully you can guide me.

ECU: MS2/Extra V3.57

Engine: L28ET (with DIYautotune 12-1 trigger wheel in distributor)

Ignition: Distributor

Fueling: 370lph, 40psi, 370cc low-impedance injectors.

Issue: Currently I have no start. I can crank, test spark and fuel injector outputs, I set the timing with a light to match the ECU. PWM control on injectors for low impedance.

I will get a few pops/bangs from exhaust while cranking. Not much else, no real "catching" moment where the RPM rises significantly.

What should I be checking? Something mechanical or something in my tune? I will attach the tune, also a link below on a place you can view the tune without TunerStudio since I know not everyone has it. A log .jpg is a attached too.

Hello I would take an educated guess and say your ignition timing is 360 deg out move the offset 360 deg so if your offset is 90deg then adjust it to -270

this will make it fire on the opposite stroke

About to suggest exactly the same thing!

You wouldn't be the first, and you won't be the last.

I will check also the trigger wheel isn't upside down. I just remembered that is possible as well, but I think that only effects cam sync (not using, batch fire)

My trigger tooth #1 angle is 340 right now (technically lines up with the timing mark, but like you both said, could be 360* out).

Tunerstudio won't let me use a negative number BTDC, could I add 360* as well to use 700* BTDC? Should be the same as -20*?

Yes, you have to add 360 degrees - obviously it can't be a negative number as the ECU counts from the trigger - it can't anticipate it. That's why the trigger is usually on the exhaust stroke, so it's easy to establish the timing and there is less chance of getting into synch' issues

We usually reply within 12hrs (often sooner)
