Trigger on Toyota 1uzfe

[David Kirkpatrick]

Hi I am having trouble setting the triggers on my toyota v8 1uzfe. I have got Trigger 1 reading off the 12 tooth plate on the crank and trigger 2 reading off the LHS cam. When I try to get the engine running the only setting that seems to runs well is the single tooth. When I am running the engine the tacho output on the computer is reading 4500rpm when it is idling. The engine is only doing 1000rpm. This means that that the fuel table reads in the settings in the middle when it is running at idle and not the values at the left at 1000rpm. I have tried running the engine on multitooth with 12 teeth and this doesn't seem to turnover well at all. I am running direct spark as i have coil on plug for each cylinder and have larger injectors 315cc/m. I am using the G4 Link Extreme. Have you got any suggestion as to why i am getting a reading of 4500rpm when it is idling at 1000rpm? Is the Trigger wheel on the crank actually determing tdc at all? Do i need a one tooth plate on the crank or should i file one tooth off? Any help would be great as I am having loads of fun with this project and can't wait to continue. Thanks

Hi David,

Your trigger are wired correctly, and you don't need to remove any teeth. The odd rpm is because you are using single tooth, and you should be using multitooth 12. The reason that multitooth 12 isn't working could be due to your offset being incorrect, what do you have it set to?

Feel free to attach your pcl file if you want me to look it over.
