Leading And Trailing Plug Firing At Same Time
I have a 1985 GSL-SE with a S4 TII Engine, ECU, and Trans. I has not been running right since the install and when I checked the timing today, the leading and trailing coils where firing at same time, both on the leading mark. This is a big no-no right? It is probably the result of me mis-wiring something, but is their something else that could be causing this? I have been working on her for almost a year and I miss her "ZoomZoom". I guess keep driving my Miata till I get her done. Any input would be appreciated.

I vaguely remember that on a cold day start, the trail and lead fire at the same time. I wrote a thread about it sometime ago.

Although my credibility is going downhill fast, here's a jpg I posted last spring with an engine that had just been started for maybe a half minute. The lead and trail are close together. https://www.rx7club.com/forum/attach...hmentid=173511
You were probably doing the timing with a hot engine so this info probably isn't relative.
