E6X No Spark?
Before I start, I'd like to thank you for the advice on the MAP sensor problem.
Now its a no spark in the leading coils. I tested the coils by removing each spark plug and using a new spark plug to a ground point. Trailing coils spark, but not the leading ones. When I turn the "key on", I will get one arc on the leading, but during cranking, no spark.
I haven't tried restabbing the CAS yet, but didn't think I had to because it was untouched. Engine is a 13B-RE Cosmo in a S5 TurboII.
I'm thinking its my Haltech settings that I may have wrong. Can anyone check?
MAIN:
No. Cylinders: 4
Load Type: MAP1BAR (I'm using a GM 1 Bar at the moment)
RPM: 8500

FUEL:
Injection Mode: Staging
Post Start Temp: 54
Post Start Time: 5
Ign Divide By: 2
Staging Bar #: 12
Barometric Press Lock (mbar): 1013
IGNITION:
Trigger Angle: 60
Tooth Offset: 11
[Lock Timing box is unchecked]
Lock Timing Angle: -5
Spark Mode: Distributor
Spark Output: Constant Charge
Spark Edge: Falling
Constant Period: 3.8ms
TRIGGER:
Trigger Angle: 60
Trigger Type: Multitooth
Teeth No: 24
Teeth Offset: 11
Trigger Input: Internal Reluctor
Reluctor Gain: 1
Trigger Edge: Falling
Home Input: Internal Reluctor
Reluctor Gain: 1
Home Edge: Falling
So what do you guys think?

So what do you guys think?
Are you using the stock coils and igniters? if so, are you using the toggle feature and setting the trailings through digital1 and aux.out for the toggle select? Also, are you primary coils getting proper 12V power?
Have you tried just setting everything to standard mode just to see if Ign.out is working? if not, it might mean that you need to ship it to Haltech to check it.

yes, I setup the ignition as you did in this thread:
https://www.rx7club.com/showthread.p...e6x+CAS+wiring
Yes, the leading coil is receiving 12V because I will get a single arc with the "KEY ON" position.
The trailing coils are firing fine.

Try that, reset the ECU properly, and see what happens, sometimes the X needs to be properly reset to apply the changes, i always hit enter on all things i change, AND "apply" twice to make absolutely sure its been applied.
E6X Problems
Sorry for digging up an old thread, but I'm having the same issues with E6X.
When i turn the key to on position my rpm gauge would tick (like original post said getting a spark on ON position)
but when it comes to cranking I get no spark.
Car was running fine few days ago till I had fuel issues, tried to resolve that problem by tracing wires back to the E6X ecu. Now that I got that sorted I lost spark which is really confusing.
would this be CAS wiring issues?? or Ignition wiring issues? anyone have an idea what to keep an eye out for what wiring I possibly touched and messed up?
