I cant work this out my car is not running im stuck at work all night trying to fix it and i cant get the bloody thing going. Ive checked the unit for a spark and there is none it cranks over i have battery power just no spark why why why why??
Ive checked all my connections like 5 times or so and rung my dad about it he said his mate had 1 and a month later the little black box in the dizzy ****ed up. So im thinking mine might be the same. but ive only had mine for like 2 weeks.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH i hate cars now lol not really but im really frustrated.
I think the units ganna be a waranty cause im not ganna pay another $1000 for a new 1.
If you have a 6AL your not supposed to connected it to the dizzy module. If you did? That'd be giving the module a heart attack.
I reckon you've killed a coil. Not using a bosch 716/717 are you?
On the module there should be 4 wires. If it's a GM module. Two wires in from the coil. Disconnect these. Connect the MSD box to the other two wires. Then if the MSD fails? you can just reconnect your dizzy module and drive away.

Module can be cooked by heat. Usually not enough heat sink compound. I've had quite a few fail. That's one on the reasons I fitted a 6AL. The 6AL is more reliable. I've had mine in their since Feb. It's faultless.
Have you got power to the box? Is the fuse in the box okay?
A cheap test light is a bulb with some wire. 1 earth and touch the bulb where powered is supposed to be. It'll light up if there is power and it'll do nothing if there isn't.

The fuse system from what I can work out is an internal diode that you can't access. I was sure they have an external fuse but that may have been my other box.

On the US forums I've heared bad things about the Blaster 2 coils breaking down and causing the 6AL to fry. If it turns out the 6AL is toast get your sparky to see if the coil is ok.
nah still not going im at work now trying to fix the problem
Ive worked out the msd is ok and i have a spark now but my problem is i pulled the dizzy out and lost the settings so i gotta find out how to re install the dizzy.
If only i looked in the first place i would of found the cut wire on my ingnition switch came off when i was cable tying the wires up.
Nasty Its always something simple but it never appears until ya screw something else up .
Damn cars.
If it makes you feel better I just got screwed 1750.00 on stereo head unit that I will never recieve .
Yeah i no if id just checked the wiring first instead of ripping everything out of the engine i wouldnt be in this dilemma. Anyways its all a learning experience and i gotta learn it anyway

rofl. xbwgn does similar. Everytime theres a small issue with the engine He starts ripping the inlet manifold off. I got there, had a listen and found no 5 and 6 spark plug leads reversed It always pays to check the simple stuff first.
I am no better than this myself .I cause more damage to fix for myself every time .
PS now my car will have speakers amps subs and no head unit to run it .Don't but from ebay USA
