Depends on the runout on the toothed wheel as you want it as close as possible whilst not getting clouted if high rpm runout increases. I'd say between 0.4 - 0.75mm would work but less is generally better.

Start with a gap tooth factor of 2000.

As above, roughly 0.5mm to 1mm should work fine, depending on the size of the flywheel.

If you mean the diameter is 270mm, you'll need a bigger gap between the trigger and the sensor, probably between 1mm and 2mm.

If the engine runs fine....what are you trying to achieve ?

if it starts and runs ok...then the trigger setup should be fine.

Are you having a problem of some sort or does it run ok ?

Unknown Flywheel message is normal.
As stevieturbo says, does the engine run?

Its pulsing on idle and stopt sometimes so i adjusted the sensorgap down to 0.8 mm and now all is fine.
Also the ecu made adjustments on its own on the rpm colums ant tps colums.. could that be bad battery att start? Did take a look at diagnotics an saw that the volt has been all the way down to 5.4 volt..
