Anybody got any idea's?

[Coyote Jack]

I am working on the Demon right now. I have fire to the plugs when the key is in the start position but no fire when the key is in the run position.

I am using a MSD 6AL, blaster2 coil and MSD 8534 dist.

I have checked the wires and they seem to be in the right places.

Anyone?

MSD ® Ignition RPM limited / flat performance of a MSD ® Ignition:

Check the small Red wire coming out of the MSD ® Ignition for a loose connection or a poor wire connection at the switched +12vdc connection. A loose main Black ground wire out of the MSD ® Ignition to the chassis ground / Battery ground. Check to make sure you have a solid +12vdc to the MSD ® Ignition box. If the voltage drops below +10.35vdc TWRS has found the MSD ® Ignition can start to cause gremlin kind of issues. Check the Orange & Black ignition coil wires coming out of the MSD ® Ignition at the coil side for poor fit or bad crimping of the connector.


MSD ® Ignition Will not start the vehicle:

You will want to start with the Basics on your MSD ® Ignition not wanting to run. Make sure you have a solid +12vdc & Ground to your MSD ® Ignition check all connection points! Check the small Red wire coming out of the MSD ® Ignition box for breakage and poor connection at the switched +12vdc source. Make sure the+12vdc being supplied is not drifting around on your MSD ® Ignition, this will cause your unit to do dumb things. We have seem happen in some variation to many customers when it comes and goes without warning. Remember if the voltage gets below the +10 volt range the MSD ® Ignition box will shut down period.

ALSO If the above info will not help here's some Q&A to MSD that may help you troubleshoot your problem. :book:

Problem solved. It was the ballast resistor wires. I forgot to connect them after taking the ballast out. I also had a bad fuel pump. I just happened to have a new one sitting there. I put it all back together and it fired right up. It sounds real good with the open headers. I don't think the neighbors think so at midnight but it was music to my ears.
