No ignition reading!
As I'm logging an evo 7 ECU, I don't get any ignition timing reading in evoscan while other parameters seem to read fine!
Ignition reads 5 all the time regardless of rpm & load, it doesn't change. The idle timing in the ignition table is 5, I changed it to -10 to see how it would affect idling & there was no effect, the cars idled perfectly fine, ignition reading always stuck at 5!
It seems that the car is unresponsive to ignition timing changes.
I'd appreciate your suggestions what to check for, wiring, ecu...etc

There's a wire from the ignition switch to the ECU that sends 12v to the ecu when the starter cranks. You can find it on the pinout diagrams, labeled start. When the ECU gets that signal it defaults ignition to 5 degrees, overriding the timing map. Check that wire to see if it has power on it at all times for some reason, it normally should only get the signal during starting. Maybe there is a problem with your ignition switch.

I think the pin you're referring to is pin # 82, description :ignition sw supply, so if this pin has 12v all the time it would cause such problem? Does this pin go directly to the starter?
I found another issue with the harness, wiring for ignition coil1 & coil2 is swapped!

How about the swapped ignition coil wiring, would that cause any ignition issues?

start the engine , turn off all accessories are off then check the timing with the light ,easier to see if you mark the notch in the pulley with chalk mark on the pulley it should be 5deg btdc if its not loosen the cam sensor and turn the cas till the mark on pulley lines up with 5 deg mark on cover . then stop the eng ,remove the jumper wire then restart and check timing again it should now read 8 deg btdc . see if that helps

I don't see that the swapped coil wiring would cause an issue.

reset base timing , you need a timing light , make sure eng is at operating temp and idle 850 rpm , then turn ign off , find the timing reset connector in loom on the bulkhead , ground the wire using jumper cable .

and then do the CAS adjustment
maby I'm wrong and it parks only the ISCV but worth to try
