Bold color choice. I like it.

Thank you! It didn't turn out right (was supposed to be way more blue) but I'm still really happy with it. I've got a lot more done, just waiting on plug wires now before I try and fire it off.

Not much to update here, I'm not getting any spark at the coils, also found that I modded the MS for a VR sensor when I have a hall effect sensor. Fixed that last night. Need time to do more troubleshooting. Hard to figure shit out in 30 minute intervals each night.

Probably just something super simple you are overlooking with everything going on. Once you find it, it will probably be a "smack my head" moment lol

I ended up pulling my coil harness I made completely out of the car last night to go through it and make sure I didn't screw something up. Surprisingly, I didn't wire anything there wrong. So I plugged it back in and went through each of the 8 plugs with a volt meter... All 8 of the signal ground wires back to the computer had a rock solid 5 volts.... Uhhh wut?!

Turns out my 1990 mustang has a 1991+ engine harness in it.

I soldered the SG to the correct grey/red wire, but then ran out of time. I have a few more checks and test to run, but I can't think of anything else that could be wrong, short of having a set of fried coils.....

Famous last words, right?

Got the grounding sorted and finished my plug wires last night. (OOOooooo, AAAAAhhhhhh)





Car didn't start though. I took a few data logs and sent them off to a buddy to see if he can help me figure it out. I KNOW I have spark and fuel, so either the crank trigger isn't working right, or the timing offset is way off.

Apologies for shooting this in potato mode.

After yet another round of testing, I have some kinks (self imposed, of course) to work out with the crank trigger. There was some ambiguity in the wiring directions and I zigged when I should have zagged. Right now, the signal is all over the place and the coils are firing accordingly. Should be a couple of quick snips and solders and ***hopefully*** the fukin thing will start finally. Unless I managed to FUBAR something else up in the process...

I feel my fingers crossed for you!
