I can't tell, but is that dedicated pin at all on this diagram?http://www.bgsoflex.com/mspowe...2.pdf

My understanding is that the resistor shown is a "pull up" circuit because the normal coil doesn't recieve a strong enough signal or something. Does anyone know if I still need this with a Blaster SS coil wired straight up without any weird stuff that was in line with the stock coil?

I just got my car to start and it appears I fried my ignition driver transistor. I am wondering if this could be the problem.

uhhhhhhhhhhhh have a close look at that diagram. the pullup resistor is on the CAS circuit, not the ignition coil circuit. It has nothing at all to do with the ignition coil.

maybe you fried it because you didn't set the correct spark output inverted/not inverted setting.

I was noticing that after I posted. It's set to "going high inverted." I wonder if I could have opened up the tune with the wrong version of MegaTune?

Version shouldn't have anything to do with it, it's a setting on the cpu. What code and version are you running?

MSII Extra 2.01. If I used the wrong version or configuration it wouldn't cause that?

Oh, i was thinking of the build version of the actual program. if you used the wrong code version within megatune.. Not sure what it could do. I could see it frying things.. But double check the spark output settings anyway.

The thing started and idled for about 15 seconds so I'm kind of confused. Maybe the guys at DIY Autotune can tell me.
