7M GTE ignition timing guide needed...

Hi there

Just to recap on the situation regarding my cars timing etc...

If i followed the instructions in the guide ie crank shaft pulley at zero, cams aligned at the notches etc and the no 1 piston is at TDC and the cps is inserted correctly, ie aligned with the grove and notch.... the car dosnt start, when its does start its running very rough and misfires etc ...

NOW, if i was to get all the settings back to normal agian, like crank shaft at zero, cam shafts aligned etc etc and then turn the CPS 180 degrees the cars starts fine with no issues.

This is not the method in any guide i have seen.

Can anyone or has anyone seen this situation before,....??

I have started the car and even set the timing using strobe light to 12 degrees etc.

Can anyone help on this ..?

Cheers
