sometimes it's hard to even get to the little jobs
Except for backing it into the driveway so I could sweep up the garage, I haven't looked at mine in about 2 weeks. And even then I put down the brake and rolled it out, then rolled it back in.

Having no garage and no time is what gets me.... but we just started paperwork for an offer on a house... so I might have a home with a garage by the end of the month....

Ran a 1k resistor between Blu (12v ignition power to ignitor) and the Tach wire (4, yel/blu). I now have a working tach, not driven around or abused it... but it works to rev and idle.
For MS, you do not need to combine the Yel/Blu (4) and Blk/Wht (5). Blk/Wht is there for the OEM Ecu to provide a 1v feed into the ignitor, which explains why the OEM Ecu can get Tach working with the COPs and the 4/5 merged.

i guess a little bit of both although i guess if youre just running a wasted spark system then its pretty much the same, just the coil is closer to the plug (rather on it). Ill let others be the guinea pig for this.

the black/white is a 1v output from the ECU to the ignitor, for the tach signal....do I assume that since I'm piggybacked, I just need to join the blk/wht and tach out and nothing else? whereas split has a standalone and no 1v signal, so he needs the resistor for the tach output???

that's what I'm understanding for this thread.
the only thing the oem ecu sends to the ignitor is a 1v source. from 2I, blk/wht.
since Splittime doesnt have a stock ecu anymore I suspect the problem is getting the 1v source....this is assumption.
when he took the 12v source and hit it with a resistor to the tach out signal line, he got his signal back.
and likewise, others with the stock ecu simply connect the 1v input to the tach signal output.
with this assumption, peoples like me, with a piggybacked MS, would simple just install it like the rest of you guys with a stock ecu only.
