i am going to take #1 spark plug out and make positive that i have top dead center with the stop method by rotating the crank one way until it hits the stop inserted in the spark plug hole and put a mark on the damper then rotate it back the other way and do the same thing then put a mark half way between the 2 marks and that tdc

I think you tooth #1 angle is 126, in reality it is based on if your rising or falling edge. So you can be anything from 120-132 with the info I have . if the motor fires just make sure you verify timing. I hope you have some timing marks

just to make sure this is the process you used to find #1 angle ? http://www.msextra.com/doc/ms3/trigger-wheel.html

thanks for the info , i do have timing marks but i still want to make sure due to the damper could have slipped . I need to find the fuel leak to so it builds fuel pressure but i will get it all sorted out

ok i checked it out and it is 132 BTDC and it now runs but only on 6 cylinders due to 2 coils are broken at the plug boot but it still runs i will get video of it if i can get it to run long enough for me to get out of the car . right now i am letting the battery charge so i will give it another try just before i close shop today.

congrats on the first fire!

did you ever get a Cyl #1 TDC mark ? if not that should be high on your list of things to do. you need to verify tooth #1 angle is correct.

what are you using for idle control ? GM IAC or a PWM valve ?

congrats

yes i did find tdc and i did get the #1 tooth angle by counting the teeth from tdc back to the #1 tooth it was 20 teeth total counting #1 so 20 x 6 degrees for each tooth that give a 132 degree tooth angle. it is not GM IAC and i dont think it is pwm

is it a 3 or 4 wire IAC ? if so I am sure the MS3 can control it either way. Just have to see how it responds in test mode.

VE analyzer works great , a few variables have to be accurate in settings though. Make sure you have the proper settings for your WB O2 so TS reads it accurately and that is was calibrated correctly if its not pre-calibrated. Know that insanely rich or missing reads lean. ( When I say insanely I mean barely running because your fouling plugs rich)

Your IAC sounds like a PWM controlled one. check out ms3efi.com documentation on your controller to see how wire it and set it up in TS.

keep it up

I recommend the wide-band from www.14point7.com

http://www.14point7.com/pro...partan-lambda-sensor

they are out of stock till the 31st of this month, if I recall they are about 90$ they have a built in controller and are pre-calibrated.

I have had them for almost a year now and I have no complaints. I run 2 one for each bank, if you have the luxury of setting it up that way in the long run its a huge benefit in regards to the EGO control.

I bet the sensors can be replaced with GM sensors. I use a GM 3 wire for CLT temp, feeds the gauge and your MS. I also use a GM AIT sensor as far away from the engine as possible in my intake tube. If you want to stick to the Audi sensors you should try some Audi forums for the info, or check ms3efi forums .

2 wires to the MS(one should be +5 volts), one to the gage. the sensor is grounded through the body.

Water or coolant?

Water can accumulate in any engine that sits with its PCV open and will evaporate off once the engine hits operating temp... coolant is obviously another story
