CDI+ Stock profile settings…

[Jinez]

Hello

i installed my CDI+ but im not sure if it comes setup correctly from the factory since I installed and I cannot make my car run with the stock timing I have to move 2 full cogs to have it started. 

Also the CDI has a profile by the name of some guy, James or something is this ok?
 

thanks

Juan

The names of the profiles are not stored in the CDI+ box itself.  The name ‘james’ must have been entered on the PC   

All boxes are sent out with the timing map disabled so should start with the same timing as the standard Bosch unit.  
 

In any case, the max adjustment that the physical distributor would need to run the most advance does not require you to re-index the distributor gear at all.   If you are having to move by two teeth there is something fundamentally wrong with your engine timing. 
 

my advice is:

1)  check that the fixed timing check box is checked in the software under ‘Adjust Config’.  This will prevent any map from running - same as a standard Bosch unit

2) time the engine as per the workshop manual

Hello,

Thanks for taking the time on answering me. Appreciate it!

So i looked for a better mechanic that was familiar with P-cars and CIS overrall.

We went back to basics, installed the old WUR that was working with the car when i got it, checked for vaccum leaks, tested the fuel pressure (still showing some issues with the Cold pressure with the old WUR) and basically the Dizzy was incorrectly installed and by moving a couple of tooths, cylinder 1 was not responding, basically death, so he re index the dizzy, checked the "hall effect sensor" and lubricated the dizzy and installed as neeeded (TDC on Z1) everything as per the manual, and the Car fired up and run as smooth as before... so the CDI+ WAS NOT THE ISSUE as the first mechanic stated it was how he setup the distributor.

As an FYI, the hardware eas OK it was basically a mess up from the first mechanic.

So the new mechanic, setup the car for me to test it for a couple of weeks (basically for christmas and new years eve time), so far so good, feels really good as before... as soon as he comes back from winter break, we are going to install fresh plugs, install the new WUR (check for pressures) , install the SSI´s, wideband sensor and will be starting to tune it a little bit and playing with the setup, timing and so.

thanks again!
