ignition troubles

I'm still not able to make the engine run (see my other thread).
The engine is a S5 TII into a 1982 chassis.
The ECU is a Wolf 3D V3.1.
I have fuel, but no ignition. With help from Wolf Australia, I got a bit further, but what I have now is really strange: only the number one trailing plug has a spark?
None of the other plugs seem to fire: neither T2 nor L1 & 2.
I can't see why this is. Everything is connected correctly as far as I know.
Maybe someone who has a simular setup can post the dip-switch selection they have? I wonder if this is causing a problem.
Is the TII multicoil and CAS a Single or Dual input signal? I don't see why the system doesn't work, the CAS is reading correct rpm, and all the red leds (ignition) work correctly.

hm, that's what I have don aswell. Yet I get ignition on the #1 trailing only?
May I ask how you earthed/grounded the coilpacks?
I simply don't understand why I can't get the ignition to work properly, even though the leds are flashing.
I have swapped the coilpacks, to see if these were faulty (you never know) but the "new" set doesn't make any difference.

Trailing pack is grounded via the chassis.
Leading pack is grounded via the chassis, and an extra 4AWG grounding strap from the coil to the battery.

You have probably done these tests, but when you pull the spark plug lead off the leading plugs, can you see spark at the wires? Or, pull the leading plugs out of the engine, leave the plug wire attached, and see if you get spark right at the sparkplug...
