Just double check wiring. Possibly just a bad connection somewhere.

Happy women, happy life. Don’t loose motivation. You’ll get it done. Take a bit longer, but once motor starts all smikes again.

Yip... Small things... Wanted to hookup mp9 again... Seems easier... Lol...

I think the dizzy might be an issue... It turns very tight.

Are u using the dizzy that came with the motor?? Mine never came with a dizzy and I had to buy a new one. Is ur firing order on the dizzy cap correct?? I couldn't get mine to start without it being in the right order. Its 1 (top left) 2 (top right) 3 (bottom left) 4 (in the toughest spot ever bottom left)

As far as I know u will need a different throttle body (vr6 obd 2) of u rum mp9 if I'm not mistaken. Stick with the dicktator u won't be sorry bru trust me. Just look through ur wiring diagram again. What coil are u using? Have u tested for spark? Do u smell fuel when u try n fire it up???

Remove dissy from head and turn rotor by hand with ignition switched on and then you measure between middle (signal wire) and negative with a multimeter and check if you get voltage. With trigger disk between hall sensor, you should measure 12V and in the window zero volt. The two outer pins must measure 12V with ignition switched on.

The dizzy signal wire is then wired to pin 1 on Dicktator and ignition output 1, yellow/black wire on pin 6 on Dicktator is wired to centre pin on 3 pin coil. The 3 pin coil has an internal trigger module. No need to use TP100.
