Default Has anyone successfully built a MS2 v3 for a GM LS?

I posted this on the MSExtra forums and figured I would give it a shot over here too.

I want to start by saying that I've read the manuals, I've contacted the guys at DIYAutotune, I've researched for literally MONTHS and I cannot figure this out. I'm about to give up on this all together.

Has anyone ever built a MS2 v3 for the 24x LS motor with truck coils running wasted spark? If so, do you have any detailed pictures of the spark output buildout?

I've built mine out in the proto area on my board, and I've done something wrong because its not working. I don't get any spark from Spark Output A, and a very sporadic output from B, C, and D.

I've read so much, about so many different things, I have know idea what I've done wrong and it's driving me so mad I want to give up.

Microsquirt V3?

There are literally thousands of LS based engines running on Micro V3 (MS2 based).
I've setup half a dozen of them locally.

This thread has all of the info you need to get it done.

Sorry, I should have clarified. I have a MegSquirt 2 v3.0.

I'm to the point now that SPR2, 3, and 4 are all firing correctly. But I cannot get SPR1 from the D14 circuit to fire.

I have even unhooked the wiring from SPR2 and hooked up the coils from SPR1 to it and they were able to fire just fine. So I know it isn't the coils or wiring going to them.

I FIGURED IT OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The pin in my wiring harness for SPR1 is broken!!!!!! I bypassed the IGN connection and wired it straight from the D14 LED directly to the Coils and it worked.


After taking the hood off of my connector on the wiring harness, I was able to see the broken connection inside. I fixed it AND IT FIRED RIGHT UP!!!

Thank you to everyone who tried to help me!
