Easiest way to think about it to write one under the other:
Ford - 1342
Yours - 1432
So:
1=1
3=4
4=3
2=2
Of course being wasted spark you could also do the inverse, which gives you another set of options
Ford inverse - 4213
Yours - 1432

when i bought the ecu i didnt have any map loaded at all and when i had it on my main pc im sure i put the base map from the downloads section on to it but i never set any cranking advance i dont think
so how is it still starting? lol
i dont have a timing light atm, im gonna try another cable today and see if i can get it connected up

just to get this right, when i plug my ecu into the rs232 port on my xp laptop it should be automaticly port 1?
when i open device manager and click on (ports com lpt1) it comes up with communications port (com1) and ECP printer (lpt1)
the rs232 should be com1 yes?
when i plug the ecu in i dont get any pop ups saying tsomething has been plugged in, should i?

Does this particular laptop have a built-in serial port or are you using a USB-serial adapter?
When you plug in a USB adapter for the first time windows will prompt to install drivers. Any time after that, you just get the "beep" notice that a USB device was plugged in, providing the drivers were installed correctly. Then, you will see the device under Device Manager.
if it's a serial connection then windows won't notify you as a standard serial interface is not designed to automatically detect devices plugging in, like USB does.
Unless someone actively set the ignition map to all 'zeros' the Megajolt will have a default ignition map on board. Default cranking advance is 12 degrees.
Have you been able to verify the timing changes with a timing light?
Also, what "serial adaptor" are you referring to in your most recent message?

yeah the laptop has a built in serial plug, the serial adaptor was purchased from you and shipped over a few months ago
at the time i didnt have the laptop ort anything with a built in serial port so i bought a usb converter
it worked first time with the converter on my main pc, i loaded up the base map and thats about it
it was tucked away for a few weeks untill i had everything fitted to the car, once everything was fitted i managed to get an older laptop and got windows xp installed on it and plugged the ecu straight into the serial plug using the converter bought from you
i got nothing, just the timeout reading cylinder error all the time. i tried installing the drivers for the usb converter (the disc came with drivers for various versions of windows) but still get the timeout error
so i thought id plug it back into my main pc using a battery to power the ecu but i still get the timeout error, i dont know why as it did work when i first bought it
my main pc dosnt have a serial port in it thats why i bought the usb converter
ive tried a different cable from the ecu to the adaptor but i still get the same message, im beginning to think its the serial adaptor (not the the usb converter) thats gone faulty
i cant find anywhere in the uk that will pre-wire it for me so ill have to wait for one from yourselves again
and then again it might not even be that lol
