Default RPM not synced

While troubleshooting my no start on a 1990 1.8 no vvt swap with ms3x, I see a rpm not synced in red at the bottom of tunerstudio and believe this is where my problem lies. Any ideas why that would be showing up would be great, thanks!

That's a regular data log, not a composite log.

Use this tool to create a "composite log" of your crank & cam signal. You have to crank for a long time before it starts recording (20 seconds maybe?). See in the bottom right where it says "0 of 0"? You will get data once it creates about 5 sheets.

I think OP is running a CAS. Claimed it ran ok on stock 1.6 ECU?

There's no crank signal. Check wiring and/or the pot settings on your MS3(X)

But the fact that it ran on his OE ECU (stated in previous thread) points me towards a problem with his ECU. Either a pot adjust or maybe he missed a pull-up resistor or something.

OP: did you clock your pot?

Yes, Prior to taking that log i readjusted r56 counterclockwise 12 times and then 7.5 turns clockwise and the others were adjusted during assembly according to the instructions on trubokitty.

Ok... You mentioned that the motor runs on the factory ECU. Does it throw a CEL code? IIRC, no crank signal is code 2. I don't know why it would run without a crank signal though. Also, have you tried just swapping in a different CAS sensor?

how do you have it wired up for CAS to the ECU?

No check engine light but the car runs rich at all times according to my wideband but i doubt that its anything major. I daily the car so i don't want to risk any major downtime of switching out parts when they should be working correctly if the car is running fine. I haven't done anything to the cas wiring except i believe i had to extend the wires when i swapped in the 1.8. I also just remembered i think i used a smaller or larger gauge wire than the factory wiring, could this cause the sensor voltage to be out of wack and not have the megasquirt pick it up?

I'm not sure how sensitive the ms3 is.
