Crank issue
My composite logger shows blue vertical lines( teeth?). Tooth logger same blue lines
When I remove the Spark plugs i get a signal when I put a spark plug On the engine block i get a signal And the spark plug sparks
I assume the starter is spinning faster and therefore I get a better signal woth the spark plugs removed
When I put the spark plugs back in i sometimes get a signal for a split second but usually not
Any imput?

Are you using the VR tach input on the V3.57 mainboard?

Perhaps you need to play with the trimpots to capture the weak signal during cranking?

Here is a side note regarding the firing order, and how your engine should be wired:

My troubles may be relevant to you...

User Six_Shooter used a 4-pin HEI module to convert the VR signal to digital.
