h. i have a 200sx(s13)(UK 180sx/240sx) with ca18det and yesterday i installed e-manage ultimate all 3 connections. although all readings are correct i forgot to tap crank angle sensor(cas) signal so i wasn't getting any ignition timing value(was getting a stationary 111 degrees). So i tapped cas(1degree signal) to emanage and i am getting a square signal with alternating positive and negative values from range -3000 to 3000...wtf i said..then i tried cas 180 degree signal and i am getting positive values which get from 0 to infinity(keeps adding).

I tried swapping ignition wires but still nothing(i know that you need ignition connected to read ignition timing...even if you have cas connection alone you get zero ignition timing). Btw i can get correct rpm signal through ignition, but with CAS zero rpm reading. And one last thing. Greddy says to connect ignition channels(doesn't say if in/out or both channels) in correct firing order. If i connect them, say only out channels or in channels in that order the engine does not start... Only if you connect both channels the same order(any way)(example: ecu ign 1/2/3/4 to emanage in channell in order 2/4/1/3 and out channel 2/4/1/3) works. though i only tried in order 1/2/3/4 and 1/4/3/2. if IN channels and Out channels are in different order the engine doesn't starts.

Some help:P I can post images btw
Thanks
