@el_freddo - I kept the SMJ so I wouldnt have to go through and connect all the wires running through it to one another. Seemed the easiest way to go, its a solid connection, uses factory wire colors etc, and makes things pretty easy to trace. I de-pinned the extra wires coming from it, tightened it good and snug. As a matter of fact, I took it out just a bit ago, hooked up the ECU and harness, run my 12V hot lines where they need to go, relays kicked on as they should, sprayed some starting fluid in the intake and BINGO! She ran! Sounded rowdy as all get out because it has no exhaust, and only ran long enough to burn the starting fluid (I hadnt connected fuel pump yet) but, you are exactly right! SHE RAN! And yes, all wires are labeled where they need to go etc. Thats why it was killing me I wasnt getting power and nothing seemed to be working. I went over and over it and it didnt make sense. Checked my SMJ and while it had connection, it was a bit off so it wasnt getting good contact. Tightened it down good and snug and got it sorted out. I knew trying to ask for help with the wiring would be rough, but, I was at my whits end. Thanks for the Feedback Bennie! Allan

Aftermarket coils are crap. Likely your problem. In fact a 1/2 misfire on a wasted spark ignition system is going to be a coil 99.99% of the time - since that's prettymuch the only thing shared by 1 and 2. Get an OEM coil. 100k is a good run for a coil. Also (OEM) coil failures are typically a result of plug gap being too large or the wires being shot. Anything the increases the secondary ignition voltage requirement will cause more heat in the coil and kill it sooner. GD
