Yup - failed at 3rd hurdle.......

Just so spend cant post "you should have...."

I have got everything in place for the edis...got 12 volt going to the coils and the edis module...checked all wires for breaks and they are all ok...the vr sensor is close and aligned with the trigger wheel and it is not firing at all...i have not had a plug out to check yet but it is not firing at all...

Anyone got any ideas???

i would have thought it would at least fire even if it didnt run but there is absolutely nothing...

is there fuel in the tank & getting to the right place? always worth an ask

the car runs with the dizzy and coil...if i put that back on then it will start....

now everyone is going to say "put that back on and leave it..."

eta i have just checked and there is no spark.....hmmmmmm dodgy edis module or goosed coil packs?

Have you given any of it 12V & a ground?

and why would i need that - the original coil already has power going to it...do i have to use the leads from the edis kit or just leave the dizzy ones on?

i am going to ponder it over a few beers and then have another go tomorrow....

You're probably better asking Megasquirting EDIS folks. Don't think many here have EDIS experience, certainly what I read up on made me avoid it TBH, so mentally filed under G as will be the case with others I guess

your probably right - i thought most people who were running megasquirt were running edis 8 as well...?

i think i have been thick...i took the live temporarily of the 'spare' live on the ignition switch where i have my fan overide connected...i will try connecting the fans back on and then turn the engine over and see if it kills power to the fans...
