Well, my brain is still stuck on ignition points and carburetors.

That said I had to recently trouble shoot the wife's car's ignition. No spark on two cylinders. It is a four cylinder car with wasted spark ignition controlled by a ECM. I determined a bad coil trigger from the ECM. Car to remain anonymous.

So my question is couldn't one read the trigger signal from a Carrera or newer air cooled car? Isn't that what Mike is doing in post #12?

Turns out I could use a trouble light to figure it out.
