So I figure it's about time for an update. Got the engine in all checked out. Comp was 145F & 150R - high from all the assembly goo. So I triple checked the timing, primed the fuel system, made sure there was oil pressure and hit the Start button. She fired on the first crank in less than 5 seconds. WOOT! She ran for 15 minutes before I lost the front rotor..... a sound I know all to well. So I looked at the EGT's, found out it was the front and shut her down.

Pulled the plugs and, of course they were wet, stuffed the comp tested in there and found ~120F and 130R.... OK........ that's good but WTF?

So started checking all the normal things which is actually retardedly easy with the Motec. There is a function called output test. I found out that the trailing plugs and the #1 Leading weren't firing...... mmmmmmmmkay. Checked all the electrical going to them, checked the leads, checked everything except the coils themselves becuase there is no data on how to manually check them, they're all on OBDII cars so they just plug the tester into the port and they know all they need to know.

So I switched some wiring around and found out that, yup, they're dead. Went into the Motec and found out that they're all being slightly overdwelled. In talking with Motec (again, the support with them is ridiculous, absolutely top notch and couldn't ask for anything better) I discovered that something that they consider to be common knowledge is to unplug the coils when doing firmware updates and it's kind of a good ideal to do it if there are a lot of ECU resets that need to happen. I was changing a bunch of things in the 3 maps that I use and the ECU was reset probably about 20 times in the course of a few minutes. That could've caused it too. Either way, I killed $260 worth of coils. Something thatI won't soon forget. So now I have to wait for napa to get me some new coils and hopefully we'll be back on track tomorrow.

BTW Bill, new Dyno Day is 08/10. I'll be there ~ 10, just sayin'
