Rear Trailing plug won't fire on 3rd gen
I have just instaled the E6X on my car. And it run's pretty good. Been out driving it, and also found the right timing.
But i can't get eny spark on the rear traling plug. When i test for spark and turn the ignition key to on, there is a spark in the plug, but when i try to crank it, and the car runs, there is no spark at all.
I mesured voltage with the ign key on. And found out the following
In the Leading input to the igniter there was no voltage, same with front trailing input to ingiter, but the rear traling input to the igniter there was 11.2 volt. I also check the 12v source and the out cables to the coils and there was 11.9v on those.
So what could be wrong. Im not supposed to use the Aux Out for the Series 6 engine, like u do on the S4/5 engines to get the trailing plugs to fire.
But maybe i do. Have eny one had this problem. Will try and call Haltech and Hitman in a few hours. Maybe they can help.
But please come with some ideas here please.
I wan't to get the car on the dyno
Oh and i hope i don't need the Aux Out for that, cause im using it for Tacho signal

Well it's fiering now. All i had to do was change to Direct Fire, instead of Distributor.
But the hitman map, comes with the spark mode set to distributor.
And when i changed it to Direct Fire my spark plugs got fould out, and it got that strange sound it does when the plugs are on there way to die.
The plugs are completly black.

I have the same problem on my S4. It worked once but now I cannot get the trailing coil to fire.
I even changed out coils and traced all wiring to dash and coils. Everything looks good. Did not check to the haltech from the connector but can't see how this would fail here.
My setting is set to distributer.........

Glad to see you got your car working....
