I had a high current short which blew d19. In the words of the great Matt Cramer:

"To check for a short in the Megasquirt PCB, power up the Megasquirt on a Stimulator and check the following points for voltage with a multimeter. Wait until the "overheat" issue surfaces to do this.

Thanks guys! What I might do is make a fitting that one of these will fit into remotely. Then run some hose to the TB.

Any pics of what/where they are mounted on an OEM car?

I am using a northstar TB which is similar to this one (from a vortec motor). The IAC is in the TB.

Thanks Matt, I was hoping for that answer .

Actually I'm thinking it would be the usual hall effect circuit (points with no coil connection). If the MSD's white wire is for points it should be a square wave input. The coil is controlled by the msd box.

I'm a little confused. I'm using MS2 v3 with an MSD distributor and 6a box. My MSD distributor is a ready to run, which uses a magnetic pickup, but does not use the typical purple and green VR wires to connect to the MSD box. It uses a single orange wire for the signal to go either to the negative ...
