Burntrubber Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 Your issue probably is the coil pack but my megasquirt running wasted spark had the same problem it was bad 12v feed to the coils. Been wasted it would only fire 1 of the 2 cylinders connected to that coil pack had me stumped for ages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Requiemk Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 Its quiet a straight forward process converting some commy or similar wasted spark setup to work and alot cheaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProZac Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Can help out with converting to wasted spark if you like man, have some twin post coils you can have to free if ya want. Or can do new ones pretty cheap through work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hemi Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 i thought you had to reset the ignition curve if you were going to convert with the gm coils?? http://www.nicoclub.com/articles.php?id=251827 *EDIT* , just realised that walkthrough eliminates the ignitor pack too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Its quiet a straight forward process converting some commy or similar wasted spark setup to work and alot cheaper. But the trademe one includes NEW packs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProZac Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Isnt all you need to do to convert to wasted spark is get a couple of twin post coils (mitsy diamante v6 or similar), connect the output trigger from the ignitor for cyl's 1 and 4 to one coil, and cyl's 2 and 3 to the other?
