Signal from MS to coils but no spark

Post by MSSubie914 »

Ok im new here. Bear with me.
My set up. 1974 Porsche 914 Subaru ej20
Megasquirt 1 running latest ms extra software.
Naturally aspirated Subaru jdm ej20.(4 cyl) Using Subaru vrsensor with a modified 4-1 trigger wheel on the crank. No secondary vr. I'm running the stock Subaru coil in wasted spark. I have signal to the coils. But no spark.
New plug wires. I had it running a couple weeks ago. Got the idle dialed in. I went out the other day to this problem. The batter did run all the way down and after that I encountered this. Coil is new btw. Any help or tips would be greatly appreciated.

I got it figured out. It was a loose connection on my +12v for my coil. Volt meter showed voltage when I checked it. But I checked it again and nothing. Rewired it and that got it running again. I've got it idling decently. Now to start tuning it. Which I'm sure I will need help with. But I'll post for that when I get a wideband installed.
