When there's a base map for your engine, most of this screen is filled in for you. When there isn't, you enter the engine's basic details yourself, starting from the ECU's default map. This is the foundation for everything else the ECU calculates, so it's worth taking your time.
What to check
- Engine basics: displacement, number of cylinders and firing order, taken from the manufacturer's data, not memory.
- Trigger and ignition setup: make sure they match the sensors and coils actually on the engine.
- Injectors: the right data for the injectors you have fitted.
Take a screenshot or save a copy of the map before you change anything, so you can go back if needed. Once the engine setup is right, move on to checking the crank and cam sensors and calibrating ignition timing. The Elite series maps page explains your map options, and base map basics covers the difference between default and base maps.
