Car died. Won't start. I'm confused
I was on my way back to Miami and all of a sudden the car stopped working. It shut off and I was unable to get it to start again. The car cranks but wont start.
I pulled over an tried to fix the problem but to no avail. I pulled one of the COP and checked for spark and didnt see any. The fuel pump primes and the engine turns freely. When I got the car back home I decided to try the stock coil pack because I've been getting some strange error messages since the COP install. With the stock coil pack I checked for spark again and I could hear an intermittent signal, but no spark. At this point I still think the CAS is the problem, but I'm not sure what to make of what I saw after.
Also, tunerstudios now wont even let me access the spark menu at the same time MS has switched to the secondary spark table

I went ahead and started another project and loaded a previous msq. The one I've been using (attached in post 1) only had changed made by me in the fuel table and the EBC parameters. However, there were lots of changes when I compared the two maps today.

Yep
Belt is fine. Sensor was replaced and the car is running now
Because I don't know the difference and I thought you sold MS2.
So got a replacement CAS and the started right up. Everything seems to be running fine. The car did not run rough or with any issues before this happened. However, I'm a little paranoid about making the trip to Miami now. I'm not sure if this was just an isolated incident or will this continue to happen.
