At around 1000rpm I can see the BTDC`s 20 and 0, but not 10 or 15-17.
As you already know she will light up at other cyls and other times not etc, it`s just a mess.
I read up on what little I`ve been missing and according to some people and some FSM`s (Right now I`m not sure there are any FSM`s available for this specific engine/setup), if there are no error codes I should be getting 1 blink every 4th second, which I`m not getting, but seeing as this is among the earliest with not even a O2 sensor even that might not be the case here.
As I mentioned earlier when I bridge her and check for error codes it shows nothing.
Checked compression once more as well, I dont have a compression tester with me right now but that hasnt stopped me from testing each cylinder with a plug installed and rotating the pulley bolt with a smaller tool and they all give the same resistance for my little finger, maybe next time I`ll use a torque wrench and find how much each cylinder makes the wrench click at which nM (more bothersome but should be tons more accurate).
When she runs, there are no bad mechanic sounds either, just the typical slight ticking sound that makes the 4AGE so adorable, re-checking water for miscolored (there are none) and oil for any water etc shows all seems well.
I`ve been giving the ECU a fair bit of thought today, I can`t open it because screws are apparently torqued on for life, but from the reading I did today, this non-VAST ignition system works by sending specific pulses somewheres in the lines of dizzy>igniter (which transforms the pulses for the ECU to ""understand"")>ECU and then ECU>igniter>coil/or/dizzy (Correct me if I`m wrong here) to make the ignition advance work as it should, maybe the ECU is dead and makes the Igniter seem faulty?
I suppose the only way to be sure the ECU isnt crapped out here would be to get another ECU, but these non-O2 sensor Blueport AE86 ecu`s are pretty hard to find and I dont have a hidden fortune
