I am putting megasquirt on a inline 6. It is currently running on the carb and have hooked up megasquirt and as far all of the sensors are working. My plan was to switch over to megasquirt to operate the fuel injection with no control over spark and them convert it over to the EDIS6. Is this the best way to approach this? I have had the motor running on EDIS, but it does not sound real good and it runs real good with the original distributor set up. I used the info on this site for the EDIS install. It will barely rev up on EDIS. I think I should get is running good on EDIS before swithing to MegaSquirt and the original ignition.
Thanks Bob

Re: EDIS 6 on inline 6
What are you using to send the SAW signal to the EDIS module if not the MS? Without the SAW signal, you will not be able to control ignition timing. It will be stuck at 10 degrees BTDC assuming the VR sensor is in the right place. This is the limp home mode.

Re: EDIS 6 on inline 6
I have it wired up to run on limp-home mode. I just read thru the info and it looks like I have the coil pack coil wires going to the wrong cylinders. I have coil back b and c incorrect. Easy to fix and I should have read the instruction better.
