Engine wont start -- No Advance under cranking

TurboDirect S.A

Hey all,

Something interesting i came across while setting up one of the cars i installed a Tec GT into --- engine would not start for some reason, cranks and cranks, but no spark....

After checking all the wiring, making sure the ignition sequence was correct (1,3,4,2) and that the crank sensor was working (red light on the Tec GT ECU flashes every alternate sequence) i was forced to look further. In the Wintec 4 software there is an initial advance setting which is set to 14 degrees, this setting is the advance that the ECU will provide the engine with under cranking as long as the engine is under 750rpm.

Changing this value made no difference at all even to extremes (changed from 14 to 40...) what helped was when i double clicked the RPM point and changed the 750RPM value to 200RPM as the cranking speed of the starter motor was 240+ rpm

Problem solved.....

Electromotive guys -- any ideas??

Its in WINTEC Version 4 -- under the advanced tab, ignition advance table, INITIAL ADVANCE ---

If you want to change the RPM cell - you simply double click the RPM cell you want to change and type in another RPM value

hope this helps.
