Ok so having a few issues with my mb,
It's an f8b with f6a efi conversion and turbo setup,
I'm running a haltech e6x ecu,

Problem I'm having is no spark or injector pulse,
It all comes back to the CAS in the dizzy,
We pulled it apart nd cleaned it all up and got an intermittent spark,
After another look I noticed there is a modual in the dizzy aswell as the CAS,
So we by passed that so the CAS was straight to the ecu harness,
Still no spark if u turn the motor over, but if we turn the dizzy over by hand faster than the motor we get A
Really good spark and injector pulse
So it seems the motor can't wind over fast enough to create a strong enough signal
Had anyone else that has played with f6a's and aftermarket ecus come across this?

You may need to ad an "Ignitor" in the circuit to give the coil enough oomph.

As mentioned in my PM, it could be that the Haltec is set up for a hall effect sensor and not the reluctor type used by the F6A.

Pretty confident it's right but when I'm talking to the tuner il double check,
If that was the case tho surly it wouldn't have any spark?

I'm thinking the ecu could be loosing power on cranking causing the issue

For reference I get about 11v on crank. Less than that and it won't start. I had to upgrade a whole bunch of wiring before mine would run right.

Have you upgraded the coil and removed the ballast resistor?
