I'm still not getting spark

Man, I just need a running car!

This is getting very frustrating. I got a new ecu from Venus to replace the one that was fried when they sent me the "newer" ignitor which has a different pin arrangement.

The old ecu was numbered "22" on it, but the one they sent me is numbered "00" does anyone know the difference?

It's still not getting spark. This is what I've tested:

1. When I turn the CAS I have tried to touch the #1 spark plug against a ground, but am getting no spark.

2. When I test the #1,2,3,11,12,13 pins, which are the outputs that go to the ignitor, all I get is ground (-12v), turning the CAS causes the voltage to vary by like .3-.4 volts at most.

Does anyone have any suggestions? Am I doing something wrong? Is something not wired right? Maybe I have the wrong wiring harness or something? It was a motorset.

Yeah, that's what helped me figure out that I had the "newer" style ignitor.

I'm gonna re-read that thread, but I'm not even getting signal to the ignitor from the ecu in the first place.

OK....

I'm getting a constant -12v(ground) signal from the ecu on pins 1,2,3,11,12,13.I tested continuity from pins 1,2,3,11,12,13 to the 6 pin plug going to the ignitor, they're all fine.

I'm tested continuity on the coil plug harness to the 7 pin plug, they're all fine.I'm getting +12v on the center pins on the coil packs, -12v on the ground, and -12v on the "E" side of them.(I'm assuming because the ecu is sending a steady -12v to the ignitor)

Anyone have any ideas?

whoa... there shouldn't be a -12vdc it should be 0.0 and also check the ohms should be 0ohm

-12v is the same thing as ground, and from the ecu to the 6 pin plug going to the ignitor, they measure 0 ohms.
