Help cosworth won't start.
Right I've converted my 3dr to L8.. Wasted spark anti lag and launch control... Gone to start and it won't fire...everything has been done properly... When I flick the key I get a bang from the wasted spark... Then nothing... Could this be chip related... Has everything is done properly...?
Cheers Mat.

No mate new chip fitted... When you turn the ignition on it makes a quite bang down the exhaust.. I've got spark and it seems the fuel is there but won't even fire or start.

Did you also remove the capacitor from the old coil wiring, other than that you have got the phase sensor and crank sensor plugs the right way round as well.

Chips in right way.. And wasted spark-board was fitted at MSD when Wong Rs had it fitted ( I bought the L8 off him)

Have you got the extra wires in the correct plug terminals as I think you use different if with or without aircon on L8 as car it came off may have had aircon, just clutching at straws really but hopefully something simple that's got mixed on installation, also does rev counter register while turning over.

The wires I mean are the 2 extras you put in the ecu plug, make sure they are same as added wires in ecu, also make sure new wires in ecu plug are fully home and making a connection. I am pretty sure rev counter should move a bit when cranking.

i sure i read on a wasted spark thread that you needed to swap the leads round!swap i for 2 and 3 for 4? i might be wrong though or was for there older w/s drivers?

My original board supposedly came from a working car, but was goosed
Quick way to prove everything else is to put the coil back on the car. You only have to desolder 2 wires off the ECU IIRC.
If it starts, that proves the ECU/Chip/sensors etc are fine and its the board at fault.
This is how i fault found mine.
Give me two mins and I'll find out what wires need disconnected.
