Initial Distributor Setup (hall sensor) - MSII V3

Post by Ricardo_Penteado »

I was looking for a guide to make the initial setup for my distributor in the MSII manual, but I really couldn´t find it.

But in the MSnS there is this:
Setup - Hall sensor
First, in Megatune in the Codebase and outputs function, set LED18 to "irq trigger" and send to ECU.
1) Set the crank at TDC
2) Rotate the distributor (opposite direction) just until middle LED turns OFF (sets the crank angle)
3) Make sure the rotor arm points towards the correct contact in the distributor cap
4) Fix the distributor
5) Turn engine backwards until middle LED turns ON (should be almost immediately) and continue turning until it turns OFF again
6) Measure angle BTDC (+/- 10 degrees is good enough) at the crank
7) Enter measured angle in "Trigger angle"
8 ) Enter "Fixed angle" to 10 degrees
9) Start the engine
10) Adjust "Trigger angle" until the timing light is at 10 degrees
11) Set "Fixed angle" to -10
12) Start tuning
I´m using MegaTune 2.25. Is the configuration of the LEDS made in the "SETTINGS" - "PORT SETTINGS" menu? Can I use the above descripted procedure for my MSII V3?
