How to test if my igniter is getting signal from ECU?

Is there any way to test if my igniter is getting a signal from the ECU? I checked the shop manual and didn't find much...

Thanks!
Brad

Hmmm, good idea. So I would just attach the clip to each wire and if the light flashes then I got a signal?

brad, is this for your haltech? hows the project comming anyway?
here is the way it should be set up: check your work.

picture the igniter on its side with the wires facing to the right. the one unused wire spot at the bottom. top wire being pin A

A= dig out 2 (blue)
B= neg side of trailing 1 (will be your front rotor)
C= dig out 1 (white and black)
D= connect this to a switched 12v source.
E= neg on trailing 2 (rear rotor)
F= haltech's ign out (its the lt green wire)
G= to the negative of the leading pack
H= gets no connection

in the setup page set it like this.

output type: constant charge
output edge: falling
time: 3ms
type: rotary
spark mode: direct fire

i had a problem with this when i first hooked it up but this is seems to work fine. PM me if you have a question. hopefully i can help.
