Mike please make the change in the ignition settings so they are as follows......

EDIS

then start the car.

this is what happens when you get sidetracked with updates.. lots of facepalm

Did that,..no change.
I emailed the tune to Matt Cramer. Hopefully, he'll get back to me with something we can use.

Otherwise I'm concerned that the EDIS module may have gotten hurt somehow? As it it tried to restart for that brief second then nothing afterwards when it was on the old "toothed wheel" settings.....
I'm thinking that there is no spark signal anymore coming from the tach output (in this case, that would be the PIP output coming from EDIS) If that is the case, either the settings are still not right, or I have something wrong at that module.

I hate to state the obvious, but have you pulled a plug and physically verified there is no spark at all?

Well come on tell me what stupid little thing I missed....

Other than the Ignition setting needing to be changed over to EDIS, the tach output needed to be enabled in the gen settings. When you modify the MSII to use EDIS for ignition, you have to make certain jumper settings to accommodate the mod. We were trying to start the car with the tachometer output not enabled, so there was no tach signal triggering the ECU.

No tach signal= no worky.

Ah so that's why we were getting no rpm signal. So the cards were stacked against us I see. After reviewing the IGN settings in TS I found what we needed but our session was already over. I'm glad you got it running!

Oh make no mistake,....it barely runs. I stopped it after 2 seconds, as I had to get ready for work.

That's OK now that it will run I can actually help.

So then,......you are comparing the Monster to that chopped top, pink hoopty? The appearance of that car gets your "honorable mention" then?

Iowa has rotted your brain Nick.

The Monster has always been the "Low key kid in the corner" build. I could never, ever, in a million years, hope to aspire to the epicness that is that pink choptop fairmont.

All I meant was the, "What. the. hell. is that???" I am guessing you will get that very comment from your engine bay when you are parked at show. Just keep the wheels you have, and refrain from the dub purchase, Mike.

That pink Fairmont has been in every mustang week since the thing started.
It gets dogged every year.

You'd think the owner would be tired of getting kicked.
