Do you know if the black wire from the coil harness is going to chassis or ecu?

I have all the coil grounds going to one point on my head. It is working great.

It was posted on this forum the signal ground is for ion-sensing misfire detection with the OEM ECU.

I know im bringing this back from the dead.

I have the Sequencer ground from all four coils going back to the megasquirt and I have .001 uf caps on the stock miata brown and brown with yellow that are connected to the signal ground. "caps are going from brw and brw yellow to signal ground"

For some reason the car is only firing on cylinder 2 and 3.

1 and 4 are getting 12 volts power and when I hook up my volt meter it reads 12 volts from both signal ground and my head ground. I also get 12 volts out of the signal on all four.

I believe the wiring is correct but it is only firing on 2 and 3. Not sure what I have done wrong.

Does anyone have a detailed wiring diagram?

Currnetly I have

12v to all all the 12v red wires on ls2 coils

Ground going to head from all black ground wires on ls2 coils

Signal Ground going from all brown ls2 coils back to pin 15 on mspnp2 "signal ground"

Brown wire from miata harness going to the signal wire for ls2 coils on 2 and 3

Brown and yellow from miata harness going to the signal wire on ls2 coils for 1 and 4.

I have tried swapping coils and have no luck, 1 and 4 just wont fire.

it does fire 1 and 4 with my stock coils and harness

Thanks for any help.

Do the coils fire in output test mode?

I would like to ask you guys, in the know, a question. Is there a reason why you can't run all 4 ignition circuits (IGN1, IGN2, WLED, and ALED) into the DB15 and from the DB15 out to the appropriate LS2 Coils?
