You have no idea what you're doing, or even need help with, how are we supposed to help you?

I can't even understand what question you're asking.

the file firmware was not being flashed , and im trying to figure out if the spark output was inverted. basically was confused if my megasquirt had the "joe spark" done to it or what or if the spark had been set up wrong

the first paragraph in the " first start" section of the Mega manual explaines how to not kill coils. AFIK, inverted/not inverted does not fry coils.

flashing firmware without disconnecting coils will fry coils iirc. can't think of any other way

Ok maybe I'm misunderstanding what flashing firm ware is ....is that when you set up the project and detect formware cause I did that

No.

Go read up on the basics of megasqiurt because you're literally clueless and asking the simplest question in the world.
