I need help with my M42 turbo project. I'm wondering who may be able to help me with Megasquirt. I'm not sure my system is working with the COP I'm running. Any thoughts?

Simplest things first. do a spark test to verify you are getting or not getting spark to every cylinder. If not, you can track your wiring down to the driver or wire where it broke. If all get spark, then youre timing settings are probably off, your spark plugs are dead/misgapped or something along those lines.
if you get NO spark to any cyilnder, check your trigger settings and verify you soldered right.
Status: HG repair. 488wtq though!

What coil drivers? They don't just die. unless his wiring is setup to power them when the car is off. But then, killing a coil is possible too.
Can you get a datalog? I wonder if you are getting resets. Try the same plugs as on the dyno but I'm willing to bet its a driver or a coil.

yes they do, if they are VB921s you can kill them quite easily.
he said he had been running .030 gap which is too much

Thanks for all the help guys. Todd at Dynotech built my MS. I e-mailed Chris the map I ran on the dyno and maybe he can see something that is not right. We did have to raise the dwell to get rid of a miss and it did seem high at like 7. No map I have seen was even close to that. Plugs are NGK 2288 gap is at 25 now. I took a pic of the drivers for Todd because he thought they may have burnt, but he said they look ok. I'm running coil on plug. What wiring do I need to check? They are the same wires that came off the stock harness, no cutting at all. My tuner thinks maybe the ms is having a problem firing them. the car won't idle at all on ms now, runs ok on the stock ecu and afm, just rich because of the 30lb injectors. If someone has a known good map, I would love to try it and work from there. Sounds like Chris knows his shit when it comes to ms.
