Nissan uses a very LOW voltage signal and needs a pull-up resistor or a MSD/AUTO METER tack signal converter to power most tacks.

Mack -

I have the same exact problem with my RB20.I have no signal coming from Pin 7 out of the ECU, no signal coming from the test port under the hood.

And I bought a Dakota Digital box and I couldn't get it working.

Could it be that my Ignitor is fried?

My Car runs fine free reving, but when loaded up it has a problem, until I hit boost.

Right now I'm in the middle of doing a LS2 coil swap.Hopefully it'll solve both problems....

Any thoughts???
