Select 440: No Spark from IGN 4 when Trigger is set to FD with Direct Fire
I am new to Adaptronic (I have been using Microtech for the last 10 years or so) and I am using a wired (diy) in Select 440 for the first time on a fresh rebuild and having difficulty with my first startup. The setup is running the following:
-a stock crank wheel and pickup
- 4 AEM IGN-1A coils
- 750cc FIC BOSCH Top-Feed High-Impedance Injector x 2
- 2000cc FIC BOSCH Top-Feed High-Impedance Injector x 2
- Street Ported
- Single Turbo
- Stock TPS
- Using Eugene Software
Problems I am having are:
1) When the trigger is set to FD with Direction Ignition, the IGN 4/ 1T (black and white)/ rear rotor leading coil will not spark when cranking.
a) When I go the Diagnostic -> Test Ignition section, it only shows 3 test buttons for 3 coils which do not including the leading rear.
b) If I change the trigger to 2003 RX8 then I get spark from the rear leading, but I am not sure if its firing at the right time, etc.
2) If I do the Diagnostic -> Test Injector->
a) Basic Test: They all seem to click at the same time, no matter which is enabled or disabled
b) Long Test with 4000 on time, 4000 off time and 2000 clicks: Nothing happens. I was expecting this to be clicking away like the Microtech did it, but nothing.
c) What injector settings should I be running based on my injectors?
Please guide with all of the above. Thanks

Are you getting a signal from the crank trigger? As for injectors all u need to do is input the dead times. The reason u can only test 3 coils is because the 4th is run off of one of the aux outputs. U cant test that 4th coil. I recommend the ffe crank trigger with the mag pickup. The stock fd crank trigger is known for being inaccurate at higher rpm. I noticed my idle was alot smoother after i installed the ffe crank trigger. I was using a old s4 cas before. How do u have your safety cuts set up? U should see a flag come on if it was a fuel or ignition cut tho.

Banned. I got OWNED!!!
Andrew, one setting on your fueling that's continually screwed up is you're using batch fire during start (for the FD Trigger Configuration). All four injectors are firing 8-9% Duty Cycle for an engine barely turning 200 RPM. It's excessively flooding the engine.

There is quality crank signal (you don't need an FFE setup) and you will never be able to bench test the 4th ignition coil on the ECU due to it's fault as I emailed you about (and how Holdfast explained).

The ffe kit doesnt cost that much and with a turbo engine i would get one just to be on the safe side. Its a 36 to 1 vs the stock 12 to 1. More accurate way to keep time. The stock one has a 4° variance in time. My motor is na but i noticed a difference right away. Runs smother at all rpms. Just look up full function engineering on youtube. There is a video on there showing the difference between stock and ffe wheel.
