have done the msd conversion on my 4x4 saph as per instruction
but the car fires up but it doesnt run right it sounds like the timings out/firing wrong
ive fitted new plugs and leads and its made no diffrance
it will backfire a little and doesnt want to rev above 2k(estimated as rev counter not working)
any idea?
only thing i can think of is faulty driver
bought that secondhand

Coil wires - just hide them away, don't cut them off as you may wish to revert back to coil some day.

Leads defo correct.coilpack and leads numbered.
Connections to ecu pins correct
Ignition amps worked spot on on car i took them off
I did have phase plug off but realised its still needed so put back on.i never removed rotararm.does that matter?

Will have a look at a wiring diagram if I can find one tonight. Ya could just swap em over - won't hurt and it will eliminate it too from your investigations.

Am I rite in thinking your the boy from Edinburgh I got the box off? If you get stuck I can give you the conact details for a guy across here in Dunfermline who will certainly be able to fix it. His name is John Muir dunno if you've heard of him he used to have mv turbos across here. He's setting my car up for me very soon

He's never really stopped working just moved premesis and been doing allkinds after he built houses on the garage land. I'll pm you his direct email address rather than giving you his number dunno if he'd be ok with giving his number out. If you mail him tell him Darren give him you his email incase he wonders.

I've had a problem with coil packs labelled up wrong try writing down plug lead location then imagine turning sticker round 180° then put leads on.1 goes where 4 was 3 goes where 2 was 4 goes where 1was and 2 goes where 3 was .
Worth try anyhow

never mixed any plugs up i just took the phase sensor one off and put back on again
map sensor is fine,car ran perfect before removing coil and going wastedspark
ive unplugged one ign amp and it fired up on 2 cylinders as it should,turned car off and unplugged that one and put other back in,cranked it and wouldnt start on two
so i then tried the plug that fired 2 on the amp that never and it fired on 2
tried this again with other plug on both amps and wouldnt start,so id of thought one plug isnt getting what it needs to fire
but i cranked over with plugs out and they all fire
opened ecu and checked connections for the 8th time,everything is ok in there
it sounds like all 4 cylinders are firing at the same time instead of 2?

Have now belled out pin 21 and 26 and they were reversed.would this sound right to the engine firing but sounding like all 4 were firing all the time? Ive now changed them over and it just cranks over now and doesnt start
Any ideas?could this of damaged ecu.driver amps etc?

Have you tried turning it over with all four plugs out and connected to the leads? What order do they fire? Should be visible firing in pairs 1 and 4, 2 and 3.
IMPORTANT: Make sure you unplug the injectors when you do this.
