Default MS3X Issue Hot Ignitor - Help

I am installing a new MS3X built by Braineack on the forums. I have it all connected, but the car will not start. The ignitor gets really hot and just cranks with no spark anymore. I'm aware, I need to probably replace the ignitor but I'm waiting for the hot symptom to stop before I slap a new one on and burn that one out. The ignitor does heat up even if I'm not cranking the car over. It's within seconds of plugging it into the harness. Any idea what could be causing this? I have a SOS out to Brain so don't suggest that... i'm already on that.

Thanks in advance.

Hey, I updated my thread because I found that one of the outputs from MS was stuck on. Disconnect the ignitor and see if the MS is sending 5 volts on the logic outputs.
