Easiest way to control dual coil pack on my 4-cyl. ?

Post by lauzonjfmazda »

Hi, I'm doing my homework about installing my MS-II PCB3.0 V2.6 on a Mazda Protege 1.6 Turbo and I really don't know what should i do with the ignition system. OME is a dual coil pack on plug driven by the PCM. The MS-II has a single ignition output signal. Is the easiest way to do that is using EDIS4 module ? or modify the circuitry on board like there www.microsquirt.info/dualspark.htm : Dual spark and MS-II ?

Thanks for your help.

If that's like the US spec 1.6, it would be using Ford engine management, so EDIS would be the obvious choice. I'm not sure on versions sold in other markets.
