I'm workin on getting my MegaSquirted HSR fired off for the first time. It's turning over, just not firing off. I've got spark, I'm not 180 out (2x checked with the finger-over-hole method), I'm getting fuel into the cylinder (can smell it on the plugs), but still nothing. I checked the fuel pressure with some sort of pressure gauge I had laying around the shop, it just so happened to fit the schrader valve perfectly, and it was set at 20psi. I played around with the regulator, but the gauge would still show 20psi. So if this were the case (Im getting an actual FP gauge, but until then) could this be the cause? I thought that even with some pressure, the motor should still fire off.

And on a side note, I'm using MegaTune 2.25 to tune the MegaSquirt. I noticed that while cranking, it is not advancing the dizzy (8-pin HEI out of 92 Camaro). Should this be right? Does it not advance until it is above "cranking" rpms or something? I've got until Saturday to figure this all out, any ideas?

On GM stuff there is no advance until running indication is met.
Runs from the module during crank.
Recheck your static timing is correct.
When I first installed my TPI that was really what killed me.
(That and it was one terminal off) Doh!

It really shouldn't run with that low FP.
As a shot in the dark...
You might try a real low injector constant to get the injectors to fire longer.
Might get it to run buts its totally the wrong thing to do.
If you have fuel, the plugs could be fouled also.
Clean them and then try again.

when you say static timing, do you mean with the EST wire (or equivilent for MegaSquirt) is disconnected? I do, and it's showing 10deg BTDC, and I double checked that I am NOT 180 out. Unless static timing means something else.
