when messing with the timing Its like there isn't enough retard to make it run smoother, if I could retard the timing more it would sound better.

I keep re stabbing the CAS and checking timing and it seems dead on, when I try to install it either 1 tooth ahead or backwards and compensate with advance/retarding the timing but it doesnt start then.

lined up the alignment pin to the front pulley and as well as the dot to the marker on the CAS.

it wont idle, it fuels up the plugs and dies even at operating temp, and missfires.

 

I assume you're still on the stock ECU?

 

are you sure the spark plug wires are on rite? check your grounds. you shouldnt have to jump teeth on your timing

 

for now, megasquirt should be assembled tomorrow night.

yes they are and my grounds are good and the cas is aligned

 

... and you've double-checked the injector wires?

 

they only go on 1 way, length wise so yes

 

check or re ground.. also , is the car riding rough alot ? might be you're tps miss-reading..
