goofy question

Post by corysplace »

MSII-3.0 v2.890 HEI mod and iac mod.

Car runs but acts wierd. I can get car started but it acts wierd.
CurrentTune.msq
I have to give it some gas, to run ok it will run fine when i idle it down. Then it starts to spit out the intake, not backfire. I think this is cause of this. I think it runs fine cause of advancing the timing

First picture shows were TDC is in dizzy, now the sensor does not line up to this and i cannot turn dizzy far enough due to hitting something

This picture shows the were number one cylinder is.

my question is should i press off the trigger and put it back on so i can align it up with the sensor. i put a run log in in case anyone wants to see it.

Something's wrong with the data log. Does the timing you see in the tuning software match the timing you see with a timing light? First thing to check if you suspect a spark problem. You should not have to adjust the distributor to the limits of its travel as you can adjust the timing by changing Trigger Offset.

also notice this. in the first pic. were tdc is the rotor points at 1, in the 2nd pic. the rotor is after 1(or advance correct). So shouldn't i be going down in timing?

car is running

Post by corysplace »

hows this look, after some trial and error i finally got car running. I ended up changing to rising instead of falling. I still have a lot of fine tuning to do but it runs.
