If your tacho reads as normal you wont need to fit the mod, I took my clocks apart and found they were different to the instructions so I put them back in the car without doing the mod and it is fine.

Get the dizzy out to make life easy, and measure resistance on the across the connector. Rotate the shaft, and resistance should change when the two ridges pass the sensor.
Gap between phase sensor and the ridges should be between 0.2 and 0.3mm.

ignore last statement both amps heat up just tried them on my mates car and they work fine!
its got a mind of its own trev one min the plugs will spark against engine but not across the gap and one min they are all dead! this is all on ignition only not turning over then they are all dead

Double check matey - my car on normal coil would not start at all when the phase sensor was replaced and plugged in wrong way around.

The plugs are dumb devices and can only fire if they're given current and voltage...so...you've ruled out the ECU, and the TFI modules. The only thing left is the coil pack and/or leads...
It certainly sounds like a short either on or in something.

Roosie, if you decide to burn it, then we can burn them together. Mine is detonating for no apparent reason as well!
We can have a nice two-cosworth fire!

right back now.
yes the ones in the middle are lives.
the one on the right of the brown plug you've marked should go to pin 21 on the ECU, this the tacho drive.
give me a call if u wish and we can run through all the test again to double check.
Cheers

Testing the future
Roosie is your bike still for sale? i am probably coming up to norfolk at the weekend to see my brother the original.
if you've still got the bike, i would like a ride to see what i think. we'll also have a look at your cossie while we're there and bring another wasted spark ecu to try

he cant figure it out mind u in all fairness he needs spare parts to test out ect. i think this is a mistery to everyone

Yeah it's a weird one.
couldn't see anything obvious, I just happened to be passing but had no parts.
earthing on the car didn't seem brilliant
Stu @MSD, does the chip have pectel comms in it, I could try the IAW monitor...
can try the goonybus ecu when i get a chance

is it mega hassle to throw the dizzy back in and try it off the old system with a different ECU? That would eliminate anything thats not in the ECU/ loom conversion for the wasted spark system if it works ok?
