So, I did venture out today to set the engine to top dead center and to see where the position of the missing tooth on the trigger wheel is in relation to it. But that fell flat on it's face when I realised that I can't get a spanner on the crank pully bolt to turn the engine over without removing the entire cooling system... Didn't fancy doing that in 1 degree weather so I retreated back inside in a bit of a huff...
I also noticed that I don't have any markings or reference points whatsoever for checking the timing. there is a notch on the crank pully (not pictured, it's on the other side), and a white line on the cambelt, but nothing to line it up with on the engine itself. There does appear to be some rotational adjustment to the teeth on the trigger wheel, but again, I can't get to this until I remove all the cooling system.
I've taken sonscar's advice and disconnected the injectors for now, until I've got the ignition timing sorted. I think I'll have to wait until next week when SC are back at work and they can guide me through this though. I don't want to make the situation worse by mistake.
Something else I'm wondering, if the base map from SC is indeed a rubbish, where do I go from here? Who do I speak to? I have no experience at all with ECU mapping, I was under the impression that the car needed to be running and on a rolling road before any sort of mapping could be done? Do I need to get the car to another tuner somewhere that deals with Delta 400 ECU's?
