It's white.

Check down on the coil, and look for the tach filter. it's that wire.

Why are you installing the Mega Squirt? Do you have the new MSII with spark control? I have Mega Squirt in one of my old Mopars, and while it works pretty well, I feel like the stock ECM in the Corvette is already excellent. What are you trying to achieve with the MS that you cannot get out of the GM ECM?

I am using the mega squirt with 4 bar map to the control the secondary fuel injector 8pcs 50bls injector. They are total of 16s setup and they are 50s each. My combo required a lot of fuel to get my 1000hp goal. T6 turbocharged 383LT1.

The problem is that wire is not triggering the mega. It sees no rpm. Maybe we'll have to use a hei module to clean up the signal. I wish I had an oscilliscope here.

A big thanks to Jon for bringing the oscilliscope to trouble shoot my car. Rick found the problem and fixed it. I owe you a beer man. We spent over 2 days to troubleshoot the damn electrical problem.

I checked your car out last night and it's sick! If anything I owe you a beer for helping me out when I needed it. You and Rick are great and it'll be cool to meet you eventually.

For a few min. I really thought your ECM was toast. For Rick to find a broken conductor inside of an intact insulator is very impressive. I'm glad everything worked out.

Jon
Without the oscilliscope he would never find it. That is why we spent over 2 full day trying to troubleshoot it. When he calls me and say it all fixed and he turn up the boost to 16psi and take the car for a test drive down the street doing 130mph. He mentions two cops out looking for him because he thinks the people call the cops on him. We could not make it to the track as planned because it rain and thunder storm here.

As soon Rick get the heads back from the speed shop. He should have your car back running in a few hrs. You gonna like the mild ported heads with the hot cam. It a good proven setup thats work well.
