If I turn the key to the "on" position(which gives power to the ignitor) and turn the car over I will get 2 flashes on the computer. Tach on laptop will show 83..124rpm...something around there...and that is it...If I don't turn the key back to the "off" postion there will be no more lights..no more signal...no matter how many times I turn it over no more tach signal at all. Only 2....If I turn it off and back on...2 lights everytime. Not sure what could be causing this. I know the sensor is in good positon. Good 12v at ignitor and good ground. Anyone have any ideas?

Re: Intermittent signal EDIS 4
Does the MS get a steady RPM signal on a Stimulator?
Re: Intermittent signal EDIS 4
I don't have a stimulator......
I just took it off a coil only setup and got good rpms

Re: Intermittent signal EDIS 4
Does the EDIS module have spark?
Re: Intermittent signal EDIS 4
Well...I've got signal now...but no spark...the module was bad...I'll get it worked out eventually
Re: Intermittent signal EDIS 4
Still no spark at the coil pack....Not sure what to look for now. MS is showing good cranking signal on the laptop. Coil pack is good.

Re: Intermittent signal EDIS 4
Sounds like a faulty or miswired module. The only things that can cause a no spark condition with EDIS are the module, the sensor, the coil, and the wiring that connects them. The Megasquirt can't command a spark cut no matter what it does.
Re: Intermittent signal EDIS 4
So even if there was an incorrect setting on the MS the car should still run off the module itself....Just in limp mode...but would still fire? I just want to be sure. Thanks for the help Matt.

Re: Intermittent signal EDIS 4
That's correct - although some settings can give you seriously wrong timing. The only one to watch out for is that I've heard rumors that enabling multispark on a module not set up for it can damage the module.
