Given you supply no information whatsoever, that will of course be impossible.

What trigger system are you using ? coils ? sensors ?

Working through the user manual, checking and calibrating all sensors in the software it should be very easy to build a basic map that will allow the engine to start.

Generally speaking, if user cannot build a basemap from scratch, it's better to tow car as it is to professional tuner or get a pro to do on-site job. This should be a sticky....

Well how else are they going to do it if they give no information whatsoever about their setup ?

If you follow a little common sense and the instructions. It's actually very easy to get a map that will at least start the engine.

unfortunately the usually best way is to work through the manual and get it started yourself. You will have far more understanding of how the trigger setup and ecu works. Trigger setup is one of the most painful things to do with any ecu.

I should have said that the guy that is putting my car together just asked if there was a base map floating around to save a bit of time, he is putting one together as I write this, then it's off to Steve Greenauld later this month

There may be base maps. But until you specify what sensors and trigger setups you are using, nobody can ever know what you need.

Any more details on the setup ? what vehicle etc ?
