Why My leading is not firing

For some reason My leading coil is not firing it has a 12volt signal from my igniter but it is not firing and my car runs somewhat on the trailingonly, been runing like that for a long time now but I need to get it fixed.

I am running the E6K what can I do to make my leading coils fire? Is it my CAS? Is it in the setup? Can I run a set up without the stock igniter?

what do the plugs look like? if CAS was bad trailing would not work. check for spark at the coil then and the end of the plug wire, and finally at the plug. this will help you determine what is not working. if no spark from the coil and all the wiring to the Haltech is correct then I would suspect the coil pack. if it sparks at the coil and not the wire then the wire is bad. if it sparks at the wire and not at the plug then the plug is fouled(likely problem results from poor tuning) or bad and should be replaced. good luck

I got it fixed tonight; it was just a bad leading coil I had a signal but it was not getting to the spark plug. I install a FC leading coil with out the balast and now I am cooking. All this time I was only running on trailing plugs and boosting to 16 psi and thought it was working right. I will test it tomorow should I feel a significant difference.
