tunerpike Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 (edited) Guys, Where do I go to download Trigger Wizard to install it as an add on? I have looked everywhere and can't seem to find it.. the only add on that was automically installed was the TPS Callibration Wizard.... Just to make sure I am thinking correctly on this... I set my fixed timing to 10 degrees then open the Trigger Wizard and set it to whatever my timing light is reading... Correct?

skirkland1980 Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 If your trigger is set on toothed wheel your trigger wizard will not be available. What type of trigger are you using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tunerpike Posted June 25, 2013 Author Share Posted June 25, 2013 I really appreciate your responses. Where do I change the setting in MS. Also, is my first post correct on how to set everything? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tunerpike Posted June 30, 2013 Author Share Posted June 30, 2013 In basic setup then tach input/ignition settings. I have a Basic Settings tab but I do not see a Tach Input/Ignition Settings.... I am running TunerStudio version 2.0.8 Please help... Thx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Cramer Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 (edited) What firmware are you running? The available settings are determined by the ECU firmware, not the TunerStudio version. Edited July 2, 2013 by Matt Cramer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tunerpike Posted July 5, 2013 Author Share Posted July 5, 2013 I'm going to say that its MS1 Extra format 029Y3****, that is what it shows up as when I use the Detect under Project Properties Tab... Although my file name at the top shows 029Y4***** I appreciate you help Matt.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Cramer Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 That would be MS1/Extra 029y4, which doesn't have a trigger wizard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattb3562 Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Tunerpike, you need to adjust your trigger angle in the spark settings until your light is flashing the commanded timing from Tuner studio. (So if your fixed advance is set at 10°, adjust your trigger angle until its flashing 10 with a timing light.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tunerpike Posted July 9, 2013 Author Share Posted July 9, 2013 (edited) I got ya... Right now it is set at -10 which is using the table, so if I set it to 10 it will be fixed and I just turn my dizzy until I see 10 advanced on my timing light? It that correct?

tunerpike Posted July 9, 2013 Author Share Posted July 9, 2013 (edited) I just tried the above and I could not get enough turn out of my dist. to get it to the fixed 10 degrees advanced... When doing this, should I leave my trigger angle at 60 or should I put it on zero? Well it looks like I was able to get it but I had to set my Trigger Angle to 65 degrees... and my distributor is nearly maxed out in one direction.. Does that sound correct?

mattb3562 Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 I personally just set my dizzy 'hand tight' in the center of adjustment when setting base timing. Also, yes setting a +10 degree advance is probably the easiest wqy to set it. I started with a 60° crank angle. It was flashing around 0, so I went to 50° angle and it showed 10° advance on the light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattb3562 Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 After checking that it holds the commanded timing thru revs, I locked the dizzy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tunerpike Posted July 9, 2013 Author Share Posted July 9, 2013 Really... Then I believe I am doing it all wrong then.. I have been moving my distributor trying to get to 10.. So your saying that I should manipulate crank angle in order to get everything lined up to say 10 degrees? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skirkland1980 Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 (edited) It sounds like your pump drive may be a tooth off. It all still needs to be installed with the rotor pointing straight ahead with #1 on TDC compression stroke. The objective is to have MS showing the same timing as your timing light shows. See, with a setting of 65 you're actually only at 5 degrees. MS is firing the next cylinder but since it doesn't know where TDC actually is, you're really firing on #1 Edited July 9, 2013 by skirkland1980 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattb3562 Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Yes should be able to adjust trigger angle enough. I've only read that you shouldn't have to go below 50. I believe what you're doing by setting the trigger angle is telling MS how many degrees BTDC your crank actually is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tunerpike Posted July 28, 2013 Author Share Posted July 28, 2013 Guys, I really appreciate the help.. The car is running a lot better, however its missing really bad around 3k rpm, popping through the intake and such. Its missing so bad that I can build 6psi in neutral. I going to assume that I have a noise problem, where can I go log my trigger to monitor it? I am running MS1.. Thx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
