Hands on Help Needed
dewbries - 9/7/16 at 04:13 PM

Hi guys,

Running out of patience and brain cells. Got myself a MS2 PNP from Extraefi to go on my mx5 mk1 1.8 engined home brew seven style sports car. Can't get it running. Wiring stripped down to basics. Injectors working and constant power to coils but no spark.
Anybody in the Lancaster / Yorkshire Dales area that could lend a hand?

Thanks guys

when i did my 1998 1.8 the immobiliser was spliced into the loom at the factory i assume , all the wires where blacks bu the didn't take much sorting, they had appeared to cut several wires to the fuel/ign systems but i removed the blacks and joined the colours back together and away it went dont know if that helps at all

Cheers Paul but Ditched all the MX5 stuff, imobiliser alarm and fitted MS2 ECU. Started this upgrading of the car as a quick thing and its run out of hand. Nearly there now, but real frustrating trying to sort the last bits out seems to be just that little beyond me.

i would suggest you are better accross on the ms forums, do you have the optional coil drivers etc, also some of the mx5 bits a live all the time and controlled by switching grounds on and off. also some mx5 sensors are 5volt
