Shutting off ignition control?

Post by savage2506 »

Hey guys,
I have a MS2 ECU V2.90 with a MSD6a set up wired per the manual and it works. However, I want to shut off ignition control (control fuel only) and can not figure out how to do it. I am using Tuner Studio MS (Beta) v2.213. I have spent a lot of time looking through the settings and can not seem to find it. Thank you for your help. Kirk

s2506,

There is no software shut-off for the ignition control. Instead, simply don't connect the ignition output signal on pin #36 of the DB37 connector (don't ground it, just tape it up so it doesn't touch anything). Then ignore any of the ignition output settings (like the spark advance table, etc.). It is that simple.
