if your megasquirt only ran on 2 cylinders, what would you check?

for real.
cause mine only fires on one and four. there's fuel on two and three, but no spark (verified via timing light). all four fire on the stock ecu.

Switch the coil outputs, so the 1&4 signal fires the 2&3 coils. If it does actually do this, than it is indeed the MS, and not anything between the MS and the coil. Don't always blame the MS.

One of the transistors that controlled 2 injectors had the legs bridged on my MS. Yeah, it took quite some time to find this.

Also, what Curly said. I swear every time I have my engine out for a significant period of time I route the plug wires incorrectly and spend hours trying to figure out why its only running on 2 cylinders with soaking wet plugs.

I dont understand how this is going to help. I know that the coil will send a spark and fire cylinders 2 and 3 on the stock ECU, and not the MS. How could it NOT be a problem with the megasquirt?
