Lead coil not firing

I have a ms1 v3 on an S5 6 port turbo. The car was running fine a week ago. Now the trailing coil isnt igniting but the trail is igniting. I swapped out the coil into another car and the other car fired fine So it isnt the coil. I was wondering if anyone had any ideas. I just let it sit a week while I waited and changed the throttle cable.

Check the transistor that fires the leading. I think it's the one that connects to D14. I had this go out on me and swapped out like 3 different coilpacks thinking it was the coilpacks. Give that a try.

Check the pullup resistor on D14, and the transistor that turns on that LED.

with the MS1 code, the trailing doesn't fire below 700ish RPM IIRC... make sure you're spinning faster than this

Ahh yeah, forgot about that, it's been a couple years since I used MS1!
