MS Droid Misfires
Hi, can MS Droid detect misfires? I know i can look for lean spots (although lots of things I think can cause lean spots so I am not sure what is really a "lean spot" so is MS Droid with MegaSquirt able to actually log a misfire?

You can't just pull up a log and choose a calculated field that reads "misfires" or anything like that but like you said usually lean spikes are a good way to look for misfires. Also you can look at the rpm and rpm dot in the log and check the area where you believe a misfire is happening.

Here's some more info that I found when I was in a similar situation. I would recommend using megalogviewer as well if you have a laptop.

Timing light is the method I use to help figure out which one is bad without doing the unplug test. Thing is I might buy another amazon or ebay set of coils and it would be great if there was easy way to find know when one is bad. I would hate to have to spend double or triple for more reliable ones. Junk yards are getting pricey too and even still hard to know for sure when one goes bad. I have a significant amount of power from my BPT so when one fails I don't always realize right away as they seem to sporaticaly fail and not just straight up die.
