  1. Hi Adam

  2. Setting up an ATOM on a toyota 4age 16v engine and i used the recommended trigger setting from LINK help.

    Engine is stock, ITBs and using distributor

    with the recommended trigger setting i do not get an rpm but if i use multi tooth/ missing tooth i get rpm. Can i stay with those settings or am i missing something?

    There are a few odd effects in your log:

    1. Battery voltage is very erratic and alternator is not charging.  .
    2. MAP is quite erratic and very high (ie barely any vacuum at idle)
    3. There are patches of erratic movement on the TPS trace, this doesnt look like it is someones foot doing that.  LOOKS LIKE WHEN IDLE WAS TRYIING TO BE RAISED.....TPS IS GENERALLY VERY STABLE

    The erratic battery voltage may suggest there is a bad ground, possibly the main 12V supply to the ecu is missing (ecu pin 5), or some other loose connection somewhere.  You could try disconnecting the alternator just to confirm it isnt caused by a bad diode in that or something.   YES WE REALISED VOLTAGE DROP AS WELL....BATTERY CONNECTION MAY HAVE BEEN THE ISSUE...LOOSE POSITIVE LEAD

    The erratic MAP and very little vacuum usually indicates a mechanical issue, but one possible explanation - does this engine maybe have ITB's? YES...ITBs

    Whats your thoughts on the TPS signal - were you really working the pedal hard or is that a genuine issue? MAYBE WHEN WE TRIED TO MOVE CAR..............GENERALLY TPS IS STABLE

    One other thought - have you checked rotor phasing? NO

  4. UPDATE:

    Still getting large sway on timing when trying to calibrate.

    We have tried new sensor, made a separate harness for crank sensor still no luck

    Car has a MSD ignition box could this be an issue and does it need a particular trigger setup?

    Any help would be appreciated.
