Ok I sprayed some aerostart today in the intakes and it didn't even stumble, My spark plugs have yet to arrive so i can't try those, and my timming light still indicates that the ignition events are happening on time. If anybody has any sort of ideas, that would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Jeffrey

Just FYI, myself and others have used NGK IridiumIX plugs in our TII's. You can get these off the shelf at any Crappy Tire or Partsource. This could allow you to test stuff without having to wait for the stock plugs to arrive.

You just need to buy the $3 chainsaw socket to install them...

reluctors

Have you tried adjusting the Reluctor Gain for the Home and Trigger inputs? When I replaced my CAS wiring with better shielded cable, I also had to reduce the Gain on both inputs to 0! They were both originally on 2 (which distorted the signal!).

I don't know if you can DataLog the Home and Trigger inputs using the E6X. But if you can do it, post a Log of them here.

I like the idea the engine block isn't grounded well.
Try and ground the spark plugs on the engine itself to check spark...

I added on ground to each rotor housing and added new spark plugs, and she fired right on like a top.
thank you all for your suggestions and help.
I will post a link to a movie of my car when I get it uploaded.

Congrats, I look forward to the video

Although, now you've got me wondering, was it the plugs or the grounds? You game for putting the old plugs back and giving her a go? <grin>

That would've caught it.

It sounds like the main engine ground isn't secured properly, or that wire is defective.

I'm glad you got the problem sorted! Sometimes it's the simple things (like grounding) that get overlooked... unfortunately the CAS related problem on my E11v2 can't be resolved so easily.
