VR6 Ignition Problem

Post by delectric »

Hi all,

After of all regards and many thanks for posting it have helped me a lot.

I'm installing my first time MS2 in my 1992 GTI VR6 Turbo.

I have all working execpt ignition. My problem is that is only firing 2 cylinders 1 and 6.
I'm using a single coil whit spark distribuor.
I have cheked all, Wheel Settings 6o missing thoot 2 and 78 Tigger angle.(The car reads about 200RPM at cranking)
The car stats anyway but only works this two cylinders. I have cheked the output of Coil and only do about two sparks per second at cranking (i think is too low)

Then two strange things happens:
- If I set the Spark Output in Going High the spark is significantly weaker than in Going Low
- If I set the input capture in Rising Edge the car starts but only could be around 600RPM then if I try to rev up the Fuel Pump Relay start to go off and on continuily and in Falling Edge I could rev it normally.

I'm very disappointed I have look all one and another time and can't find the problem.

If there is anyone who have happen something similar, please tell me your exeriences.

Many thanks for all anyway.
Best Regards.
