yeah, you need to move the blue and green wires and add a 100-300ohm reistors on each as such:


Green wires:


then youll use NON INVERTED for the spark output method. should see the dropouts go away, luckily your ignitor is still healthy.


you can probably go ahead and add that capacitor and remove c30 as well.

i just slide the housings off the green and blue wires, they have a 330ohm resistor on each, would that be to much to reuse?

yeah but they arent going to the right spot and they aren't pullu p resistors, they are inline so far as i can tell.


look at the diagram i posted and compare how they go into the board (led side only)

do this and change the spark setting. in the least this will solve the issue...well more than likely.

Yeah that. You'll need them. You can steal from elsewhere on the board on sec and ill figure it out

EDIT: sorry was on phone. steal from r42 and r55, they are next to each other, center of the board. put them in r26 and r29.

ok just did that, going to go out here and try it

one question, i noticed on the diagram you have above, it shows there should be a 1k resistor between iac1a and js8 for tach, then 470 for iac1a to another spot
if you look at my pic, look at my brown wire for tach, its missing the 1k, and it had another resistor running from the js8 to another hole across from it, not where shown in the diagram

maybe you need to revert ( just lift one leg of r44 and r52 back up, you dont need to replace them back), but that should have done it.
