I need help with wiring my LT8-s (CA18DET).I have completely wired the system and the car runs but I have Coil #2,#3 not firing while the car runs. I just had the car @ CFT in Orlando and we tried to look why. Rolo did a test while the car is off and all coils fire while off, but apparently they need to be wired as two or something. I am not running a piggybak system, it is wired directly using the Ignitor and dropping resistor for the injectors. I have tried to contact Microtech Tech support and they don't respond. Has anyone had this problem, if so PLEASE HELP.You can call me or respond here, I AM SO DESPERATE I WILL PAY FOR INFO>Charlie4074012294I have another CA18DET using piggyback and don't have this problem, so apparently the piggyback triggers all coils while running.Thanks in advance

Its a sequential ignition setup, and not wasted spark setup or something, is it?

i wish i could help you out but i need to warn you. Ive seen rolo tune a lot of cars VERY on edge and they end up either blowing or having serious issues. I highly recommend not letting him touch your car. It may well be the best decision you'll ever make. take the trip south to japtrix for tuning.

I appreciate the feedback, but first of all I live on the edge, second of all Rolo has tuned all my cars and my customers cars(never had a problem)he will give you want most people ask for and most idiots just tell him to get what you can get(HP). When I build a car, I know my expectations for power, so I build them for that HP. And last but not least THIS WAS NOT A QUESTION OF WHO TO TUNE MY CAR.Thanks for your opinion.Rolo is my tuner and it is your right to comment when people ask for them.
