4.5L SOHC V8, forged pistons, balanced, sleeved, mustang dizzy.

Having trigger issues with this car.

I seem to be able to get a good RPM signal sometimes, around 220-260, sometimes it looses the signal (I'll see 0 RPM in MT)... but even when I get a good rpm signal (constant RPM reading in MT) I don't get a spark output or at the most a very random spark output from IGN out 00...

FYI, just tried to to a mdd0c to capture the trigger events, but nothing was coming through the serialterm at all... Very strange... I know i was connected because I dumped the CFG and tables, but after the mdd0c command and some cranking, I get nothing happening at all (even though as explained above i'm seeing RPM in MT). Marcell can u please help with this?

this is what I got from the log: http://www.vems.hu/files/MembersPage/Sascha/928T/triggerlog_1.txt

Car has a 60-2 wheel and sensor fitted to it from an Electromotive trigger kit. And was setup as specified from Electromotive's manual to have TDC on the 11th tooth BEFORE the missing teeth.

It might also be the crank pulley that is causing interference?? The trigger wheel is 6", while i think the crank pulley is 5.5" and is right up against the trigger wheel.

Pictures of the said trigger wheel and sensor:
