I'd say its a goosed wasted spark board.

IIRC you need to take the blue and purple wires off the WS board and rejoin the cut loom connecors they go onto. Then put you coil/dizzy cap etc back on and try it.

I'd say it'll start fine. Had the same problem with mine on an L8 with a board fitted.

Or borrow a standard L8 and try that with the dizzy to see if it works that way.

First off why the blue water sensor? What would do to make the car fire incorrect

Paul if the coil fails then that's what I will look at next

Fitted a replacement coil and it remained the same firing on 1&4

Unplugged the ignition amps one at a time and the front amp wouldn't fire on 2 cylinders so fingers crossed i have the cure.
