Weird ign. problem.

I just installed an e-manage the other day and was out driving it around a little tuneing it and such. Now today when i go to start my car it want start. I totaly uninstalled the emanage thinking that was my problem but the car still will not start. It turns over but no fire. I checked the coils which gave me an 1.3ohm reading, accorrding to the FSM they should be below 1ohm, and they have 12V going to them. If I disconnect the spark plug wires and hold them next to the engine and turn the key, I only get one spark. Does this mean my coils are bad, or are they not getting the signal to fire?

Chris

You are only getting spark from one wire out of the four?

no, one spark out of the coil, each coil will only spark once right when you turn the key, it want spark again no matter how long you hold the key
