I would put my money on the TE1 & E1 connectors arent wired up correctly. When it comes to the dizzy in my Gen2 3SGTE there is only 1 way to align the distributor to the cam as the tab and slot are off centre.....

Yep, as I found out

I pulled the dizzy to make sure it was in the right way. Nope, upside down. So I turn it around and put it back in. Little did I realise that there was only one way it would go in, even though it looked perfectly happy to go in two ways. So putting it back in, it wouldn't go all the way back in by itself. The manual says to lightly tighten, so I take that as how it pulls it the rest of the way in. Tighten, tighten, tighten - SNAP. Whoops, pull it back out again. Check the dizzy, definitely not happy Jan, doesn't even turn anymore without force. Luckily I have a spare (doesn't everybody?), just hope it works through all this dust and shit it's collected. I assess the situation and come to figure that the teeth weren't lined up at all. So to line this one up, I pull the cap off and spin the rotor with my fingers to find its happy place. Yep, right back where I started, so it only goes in one way....doh. That must mean the cams are only half way through there cycle.

Even when they aren't jumpered, the timing now is still a lot better than it was. The timing belt must have been off a tooth before, and when I've taken it off and rotated the crank one turn and put it back on, I must have got it right.
