Ok got all the hardware and electrical issues sorted out.
I can't upload my msq from work, has to wait until I get home.
So I have just a have a quick question.
Using Tunerstudio lite.

Since I cleaned up a lot of the issues stated above the car starts nearly everytime.
However sometimes usually ...

Forgot to ask too.

I had to run two new wires from where the VR sensor is to about half way into the harness...
Basiclly the wires going from the module have a shield around them. Being I wasn't able to save he other half of those wire the other half lacks the shielding.
However the car did start ...

I finished going through all of the wiring that deals with the EDIS.
I fixed a ground wire which seemed loose. However I don't know if it came loose from me taking everything apart, or if it was already loose. But it was the ground for the module.
I reattached everything and found the car wouldn't ...

We checked that too.
As soon as the car acted up in the garage we unplugged the coil and plugged in a brand new one. It was doing the same thing as well. Also the coil and module are right next to each other. They are mounted behind the driver seat away from any real heat. The VR is about 3-31 ...

Another update:
Plugged the laptop in and watched it crank when it would t start.
The rpms were still
Showing. It dropped as low as 1 and as high as 179.
So the sensor is still sending somehing to the EDIS and Ecu.

I had replaced the module already, unless its faulty?
But this only happens when ...

Ok they tested the power and ground here at work. When it acts up it still is a signal and ground at the wires.
Maybe it is the VR sensor? It does seem likes it's having more trouble starting now. Last night I had it out and it wouldn't start after a much longer time. Usually 5-6 cranks and it ...

It shouldn't be getting hot. It sits on top near a vent, that and the coil pack too. The only thing that would get hot is the VR sensor. We were able to get the muffler moved back a bit. Do there is about 3-1/2 in. distance if not more from the VR sensor.
Yesterday when I ran it and let it idle I ...

We checked the gap and also made sure it wasn't getting too hot.
But it still has random loss of spark, not sure what to do...

Here is a picture, the capacitor wasn't one mine though.
Just out of curiosity, could failing VR sensor do the same only when the motor is hot?
Being that the motor is in the back, the exhaust is very close to the crank wheel as wheel.
But it doesn't act up for the most part while the car is being ...

It's short yes. It just had a black wire hanging off of it when I got it.

Just to give you a short background:
I paid a shop a a lot of money, when the work wasn't done after over a year. I had the car returned and have been trying to sort everything out at work. So I'm going to have a lot of ...

I can take a picture and upload it later. It starts and runs without it plugged in. If I plug it in the the fuse blows at the EDIS. I'm wondering if there is a wiring issue that I'm missing, I wish I knew what it was for. This random loss of spark makes it impossible to figure out the starting ...

On the lower left hand corner is the plug, on that has a ground wire attached to a grey plug.
If I ground it out it does short the fuse.
I think they are the same thing. So a yes to what you posted.

I tried to use another VR sensor today. However it didn't fit and when I tried to use it, the car ...

Being that this is isolated to just the EDIS, how do I go about diagnosing it?
I've eliminated the coil pack and module.
I will try a new VR next, could there be anything else I may have over looked?

Oh on the wiring, I followed the MS instructions.
However the gray plastic clip that has the red ...

Right, we did disconnect the ms just to rule that out.
The EDIS was still having random spark loss.

MsII 3.57
LC-1 Wideband
EDIS 6 pack
1981 DeLorean
3.0 swap PRV.

I have been having intermittent starting issues, and sometimes it seems the motor bogs down as well.
When I posted my last log, Matt pointed out that I had a random misfire.
Now when the engine is cold it starts up very well, when it ...

Hmmm I just realized how broad that question is about the misfire.
I guess from a tuning POV is there a specific area to check first?
Such as the Edis?
We are going to check the pressure of the fuel and compression later.
We pulled the spark plugs and they were good as well.

Car is in now to get a new axle seal installed.
Once it's out I was going to make a new datalog for the higher rpm.
Could a fuel pressure issue be helping cause misfires?

I'm wondering if the misfires are an issue with the idle as well.
If it doesn't look to be in the datalogs, that means its ...

Ok I've posted a number of times and always seemed to run into some issue not related to megasquirt but with my car.

So here are the specs
MS2 3.57 board
LC-1Wideband
high impedance injectors
Ford EDIS 6 coil pack, module, and VR sensor with trigger wheel
1981 DeLorean, 5-speed
Engine swapped with ...

I tired to get one today, but yesterday the laptop couldn't make contact with the ECU. I tired several ports, usb cables, and laptops. Got nothing at all.
The person who did the installation of the computer recommended me to hard wire it outside the car.
I took the computer out and ran a 2amp fuse ...

After trying a new labtop I've gotten to a loading screen and it has validating data, but it gets hung up at 94%....
