#1136, "RE: Spark issue at 15 psi with MS running ignition" In response to In response to 11
As an update here, James over at msefi.com, who writes the "extra" code, said that the wasted spark dwell is not right yet..which is prob why i'm getting a weak spark/misfire. I've used an analog dwell meter, and also measured the current draw comparing the stock ECU doing ignition, and then the MS, and the MS is a noticable decrease in both dwell time, and current draw. Even with dwell maxed out, it still does not match the stock ECU signals.
So in order to be done with it, I ended up ordering a Crane HID2 ignition CDI box..These dont rely on dwell time, and i'll get the best spark i can possibly get with the stock coilpack. I think i'll end up driving the Crane with the mitsu ignitor, instead of off of the MS directly..I would think it would keep noise at bay anyway, and it's really how the Crane unit was designed to work. We will see how it works by mid week or by the end of the week after i get it in...
