38 Initial Starting Procedure
Check that the ignition is wired in the correct firing order.
Check that the ignition is firing on the compression stroke, not the exhaust
stroke.
After Start Checks
Ignition Timing Check
Check the Ignition Timing with a Timing Light to ensure that the actual Ignition
Timing corresponds to the ECU Ignition Timing as shown on the E.M.P. View
screen. Check the timing at high and low RPM to ensure that it is correct at all
revs. If the timing is correct at one RPM but incorrect at another RPM and the
REF sensor is a magnetic type then the trigger edge may be incorrect or the
sensor may be wired in the wrong polarity.
Adjust the setup parameter criP (Crank Index Position) to correct for small
variations in the REF sensor positioning.
Adjust the Ignition - Individual Cylinder Trim for cylinder number 1 (requires
the Advanced Tuning option) and verify that it changes the ignition timing for
cylinder no 1 rather than any other cylinder, if not then the criP is incorrect
and needs to be adjusted by multiples of the angle between cylinders.
Fuel Pressure
Check that correct fuel pressure is maintained under all load conditions.
Operational Diagnostics Errors
After the engine has started check for diagnostics errors.
To clear any non current errors press the Enter key while viewing the E.M.P.
Diagnostics Errors screen.
The following operational errors may occur in a new installation.
Injector Errors
Open The Injector is open circuit - check the wiring.
Short The Injector is short circuit - check the wiring.
Peak The Injector peak current was not reached.
