Hooked up my ignition on the weekend, but it seems I'm really not in control. I confirmed 5V is reaching the ignition module via the bypass, but adjusting the timing made no difference. I slapped the MS on the stim and measure the voltage output on the EST line and it is only 0.85V. That really doesn't seem right to me.
For my MSII wiring I ran a line from pin 5 on JP1 to the DB37 pin#36.
Running a MSII V2.2 with the 2.883j code. 4 Cyc 1.9L turbo charded 1992 Saturn.
Thanks for any help.

Why did I ever think a turbo Saturn would be a good idea?
Figured it out My cable from the MSII to the relay board is kinda missing a wire on pin 36
Moved everything over to pin 25 and now everything is cool. Except the car won't start and run which is how I know I'm controlling the timing. Off to the megamanual I go.Why did I ever think a turbo Saturn would be a good idea?
This seems to get more complicated.
I started the car running on just the ignition module and leaving the MS EST line and bypass unplugged. When I measure the voltage on the EST line it is 3.39V. Now I plug the EST line into the DIS module and the voltage drops to less than 1V. I really have no idea what the reason is. Any ideas?

Okay, hooked up the stock ignition and probed the EST line while car was running shows .239V at idle so it looks like things are okay from that perspective. Still as soon as I apply 5V to the bypass when running on the MSII the engine stalls. So this has to be my ignition settings. Back to the drawing board.
