Factory coil wiring has a permanet earth and a switch +ve, the motec needs too be setup the same way if possible ("normally" the coils have a permanent +ve feed and switched earth)Still using the factory crank angle sensor? They dont prduce a very strong signal and if the wiring too/from the sensor is close too any high current wiring (ie alternator or coil wiring) Induced current can cause erratic signals and funky timing changes.Also get the Input from the sensor check out the motec will probably need a rising edge signal and im 99% sure ford sensors are falling edge. Again this can cause erratic signalsim thinking I will need igniters, like what M&W sell. that will get the spark up.unfortunately at the moment, the technical guru for Motec (Glen Baker) is away for work, so is unreachable, so I have to wait 2 weeks before he can give some suggestions.
