Pete_89t2 Posted January 25, 2021 Report Share Posted January 25, 2021 Some background - I've got a series 6 RX7 that is running a G4+ Fury, and its using the OEM VR trigger wheel & VR sensors. The car's previous owner originally did the trigger calibration procedure, but I'd like to be able to verify it to ensure it's correct, so I set out to follow the rotary trigger calibration procedure as described in the help file. Following that procedure, after I hit "Set Base Timing" in the calibrate menu, the set base timing window opened up as it should and I can change both the "Lock Ignition Timing" and "Adjust Offset" values, but any change made here appears to do nothing to the actual timing when cranking & verifying with a timing light - it appears my base timing doesn't change even when I change these settings in the "Set Base Timing" menu. Appears these settings are locked somehow, how would I go about unlocking them? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaughan Posted January 25, 2021 Report Share Posted January 25, 2021 In the base timing window did you press Enter after putting in a value? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm, I'm pretty sure I did, but I'll try the procedure again later when I'm back to the garage and let you know how it goes Vaughan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete_89t2 Posted January 26, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2021 Thanks gents, it seems I did forget to hit "enter" after making the changes yesterday - re-did the procedure and all is good now! Surprised my motor was running as well as it was, as the trigger cal done by the previous owner was about 8~10* more advanced than it should have been.
