As Karl from Emerald predicted, the settings were all over the place ... for whatever reason. To exclude one possible troublemaker, I inserted a 100 Ohm resistor in line with the lambda signal from the Innovate controller. The Hella timing light didn't work anymore, after a quick jump to one of my favourite tool providers I came back with this Gunson Xenon Timing Light. Works!
Then I started to reconfigure all the settings. Some of them are easily made, others have to be calculated, like the distance in degrees between crank position sensor, missing tooth and 0° timing mark.
This value is then entered into the 'crank sensor options' menu. Once the engine was running with the correct data, I checked the timing with the timing light. The 80° setting gave 0° on tickover.
To do the settings, I use a Terra Windows tablet with a Keysonic keyboard. This gives me the flexibility to display the live readings when I drive around combined with a keyboard to enter data comfortably. One of the disadvantages of the Emerald is that values have to be altered in different ways (arrows, keys or directly through a keyboard). This makes a keyboard almost essential. The 9pin connector now feeds data to the tablet through an angled metal housing.
Lambda reading works, but I have to wait for better weather to drive around and do some more settings.
Cheers.
