I wired the additional Timing control harness as per the diagram originally provided and now the car just cranks and doesn't start. prior to this, the car started fine and I managed to do some tuning. I log the timing with the monitor feature (not displaying consistently on tunerpro 4.14) and it seems like the timing is too aggressive (21-24 degree at WOT with Sp67 bolt on at 15psi). This why I decided to add the timing control to retard the timing. Unfortunately this feature does not seem to be working correctly. I tried setting the vehicle select to both 0 as well as 2 and still the car wont start.

Has anyone gotten the car running yet while using the timing control?
Ps. I'm using maftpro version 4.80.

Not that I know of.

I've been planning on tackling it soon, but I've got too much other stuff going on right now and no garage to work in in the evening.

I have been talking with another owner who's working on getting it going. There are some problems and it's been relayed to me that Bob thinks there's a problem with the programming. For now I'd hold off.

The issue is that if you watch your timing monitor logs you'll see an occasional spike as high as 180º advanced... I highly doubt that's actually occurring.
