Trailing not firing on E6X
car runs fine, but the #1 Trailing is barely firing, but the #2 fires fine..... i have no idea what it can be.
ex6 setup
IGNITION:
Triggerangle: 65
Tooth Offset: 3
Ignition Spark Mode: Distributor
Spark Output: Constant Charge
Spark edge: Falling
Dwell: 3.1ms
INPUT/OUTPUT:
Trigger angle: 65
Trigger type: Multitooth
Trigger imput: Internal Rel.
Trigger Edge: Falling

how do you know that there not firing? can you not see spark or is your timing light not flashing?
on my car i have tons of spark but my cheap schucks timing light does not pick up odd trailing

First, I was trying to set the timing, but I couldn't get a signal with the timing gun... then I found that the #1 trailing coils is arcing with the strut tower. I switched coils and the same thing happens.
Still haven't found what’s wrong, I think it’s because of bad grounding (I painted the engine bay and didn't but any grounds)
I’m going to change to ls1 coils or MSD coils

haltechs are sometimes sensative to the grounding on the trailing coils. i've had problems with that before. strap on an extra ground and that should be good. shouldn't do anything as far as arching is concerned, but might help with a weak spark issue, once you get it firing without the arch.
kick your charge time up to high3/low 4's too.
