I had an MSD digital 6 crap out on me recently (read my archived thread). The car made it a block, stalled and wouldnt restart. Starter fluid had no effect. Since I didnt know the MSD was the problem, I had it towed back to my house. I bypassed it and everything worked fine.

Summit exchanged it and got me a new one right away. No problem with the new unit

Mines wired in using the MSD adapter harness. I'm also using the timing retard feature when the N2O system fires. I've had zero problems with it but using the MSD adapter it can be easily bypassed if needed.
