Edis6 giving 0 degrees with "correct" install

Hi. Tried searching on this but didn't find anything. I'm using edis6 on a toyota v6. I set up the vr-sensor as the instructions told me, like in the fig. under. I was supposed to get spark at about 10 degrees btdc, but got spark at tdc.. (0 degrees) Thats pretty far off, isnt it? I'm 1000% sure the setup was at tdc with the tooth 60 degrees ahead of the vr sensor.. Since i heated the triggerwheel and shrinked it on to my pulley, i had to build a new foundation for the vr with the tooth 70 degrees ahead at tdc, now i have spark at 10 btdc. Ofcourse, no SAW connected at this point of testing. Has anyone else had trouble with this? Could there be a mistake somewhere in my installation i've been missing?

You did place the centre of the gap (i.e. the missing tooth) 60deg ahead, not a real tooth?

The missing one, yes.

Followed the instructions very carefully, just like the drawing, and went over the install and scraches my head a lot.

Very odd if i'm the only one who've had this "problem".. Not to big deal really, just some extra work fabricating a new holder for the sensor. I was just wondering if i had missed something, or my module is defective...

Mine was off by about 4 degrees. In limp mode the timing is 6 or 7, when it shouldbe ten. You can trim the timing to compensate in the spark settings. The only issue is that it will limit your max advance by 10 degrees.

This error was suddenly gone when the engine was put in the car.
