no ign output from megasquirt
im working on a honda using a stock distributor with the vr pickups. v3.57 computer running version 2.89 i bought from DIYAutoTune. i have a msd6a box for the ignition, and a msd sc coil. i have recheecked all the wires like ten times and everything seems to be wired alright. if you use the msd test method the msd box is ok. i tryed the logic probe on pin 36 out of the ecu and i got a little flash positive when i started to crank the engine over then nothing, no grounding. if anyone has any ideas what might be wrong that would super, im stuck right now.

Re: no ign output from megasquirt
its getting power all the time, the ecu just isn't sending a signal.
Re: no ign output from megasquirt
During cranking are you getting an rpm on the PC gauge ? If you are getting rpm without any dips to 0 rpm, then it could be electrical; if you get no rpm or an rpm that frequently dips to 0 and then comes back up, then the ECU is either not seeing the tach input signal or just seeing it sporadically or seeing a lot of noise.
