MS3x Wont see crank from trigger wheel..

I have a ms3x board wired When we go to test the rpm/cranking speed to see if we get any signal zip zero nodda, now i did buy a sub par ms1 board from a club member whom im starting to regret buying used, and not buying new.. any ways,

So how do i use it?/rewire it?

Should work on the ms3 tho? I was just saying the ms1 pbc board from my ms3 setup isnt the best

Specs

MS1-MS3 daughter board with the X board as well.

The ms3/X board are in brandnew condition, the ms1 was assembled by someone else, and is alittle tired.. we dont know if the ms1 board itself works 100% properly , we have the harness and sensors set up, everything gets power and grounds, we can get intake temp/coolant temp/TPS/Map signal/ injectors fire/coils fire/ but no rpm is seen when we roll the engine over, running the ffe mag kit, 3 wires 1 for 5volts 1 for ground and another one is the sheild ground so it doesnt count, now we can get spike signals from the teeth just kinda playing with it off the car, but nothing consistent, we have tried switching the wires but nope nothing

i have been out of the MS for a while, but top of my head the crank trigger is on the main board, ( MS1 ) in your case, which does not support the FFE trigger wheel .


And i thought the ms3x card only worked well with the ms3 board. ( and not the older ms1 ) .

to make thing clear its a v3.0 board with the ms3 daughter card and the ms3x expansion.

its sees no rpm and nothing but a sparatic blip on the tooth counter.

2 mag sensors were tested with the same results

both pots are fully turned ccw but have been melted from a soldering iron pretty badly (any way to test these still attached to the board?).

sensor is wired pin #24 and #2 the -signal was also tested on pin#1.

we tested another board for any signs of life from the trigger wheel and it works so it is hardware related. same ms3x cards were used same pins #24 and #2 were used.
