so i can finally get my megajolt to communicate with my computer, now im having a issue tunning it. i placed the missing tooth on a 36-1 wheel 90 degrees ahead of the keyhole on the pulley(tdc right). now iv tried 15 or so maps off of autosports site, and the only map where i can rev past 1200rpms is the starting map but its really sluggish. does anyone where i screwed up and how i cna fix this?

do you have pip and saw the right way round, easy mistake to have. do you have a timing light to help set up the timing

Not sure about your description of the missing tooth position - the keyhole on the pulley is irrelevant, it's the position of the mising tooth relative to the VR sensor that matters and that will depend on where you have mounted the sensor (missing tooth should be 90 degrees after the sensor at TDC or, put another way, the missing tooth passes the sensor 90 degrees before TDC).

As Phil says, a timing light will tell all.

I think you need to find TDC and ignore the keyway...

My thoughts exactly. You can't rely on the keyway to be a true TDC. You need to find an accurate TDC, you then need to find 90 deg BTDC & align the missing tooth & the crank sensor. The sensor needs to see the missing tooth 90 deg before the engine reaches TDC.

I second comments already made, keyway has nowt to do with it.

Stick a timing light on it with just the edis (no jolt ecu) and you should see 10deg.

If the sensor is correct check your ecu is actually changing the timing via the pip and saw wires.

Also check your coil wiring.

i tried going off of the timing mark(about-20 degrees off of the keyway) the engine wont run. I think im going to assume the tdc is 10+ off of keyway. It ran when i used the keyway as tdc and i could rev it up when i advanced it 5 degree's.

you need to actually find tdc rather than assuming and need a timing light.

This isn't the time to assume. Find true TDC and go from there with close reference to the installation instructions on the Autosport Labs website.

While you are sorting it out go back to the default map rather than something that someone else has arrived at. If you are using a turbo and MAP, is it set to turbo or NA?
