ok now i got a problem i hooked up my msd an my car keeps stalling out while im driving it what the hell is the problem i hooked it up exactly s they said tooany body else have this problem

What msd do you have?

Read the manual.

Check the rpm limit. it may be set to low.

THERE IS NO RPM LIMITER WITH THE ONE I HAVE ANYWAYZ IT STALLS WHEN IM DRIVING I PAID 240 FOR THIS THING AN I AINT ABOUT TO GIVE UP ON THIS THAT EASILY

2 questions:
do you need tach adapter for use this ignition?
can you post an how-to??? >> >> >> >> >>

What do you have again?

??? >>

All over to you edo. >>

yea i put the new tach adapter on today an it stalled again

I think he's using the SCI ignition, check on his profile Ed. >>

have you used 8910EIS for the adapter?

Check for plugs, plug wires and distributor cap to verify conditions. The distributor cap must be very clean to avoid air ionization which can bring to misfire. if you can drill some air vents on it.read MSD manual to see how to.

In addiction, verify that if you have 2 cylinders which fire at same time, the relativde plug wires aren't too near one from the other cause you can have a spark induction to the other wire.

Hope this help >>

ok im runnin stock plugs could this be the problem too my rotor an cap are fine (not burnt) i mean its gotta be the wires

You stated that you have the sci. Is that the SCI digital plus?

To you have a tach adapter?

Msd recommend not using stock wires or solid core wplugs wires with there unit.

Try using some low resistance wires and see what happens.

If not, I will have to download the manual and analyse it for you.

ok that could definitly be the problem im using the stock wires with some bosch plugs,yes i hve the tach an its not the sci digital plus its just the sci regular uve been a big help man

Ok. explain to me for the record what happens when you start the car and move of.

Tell me all even if it seems insignificant.

Get some ngk racing plugs and some low resistance wires.

The problem i believe is the wires and the plugs are causing the sci to oscilate or become unstable after a period of time, which send bad signals to the tach which the cpu cannot understand, if the injections are maps base on timing (which would normall be.)

ok i have the tach adapter eis8910 or whatever they gave me im runnin bosch platinum 4 plugs with the stock wiresthe car will run for about a half hour then stall then wont start again but if i take it offit runs fine it also feels like its robbing power or it did nothin at all understand me

When you takes it off, is your tach reads good? If it does, you do not need the adapter.

If you want to, go to msd and joint the forum like me.

i cant start the car if i take it off it needs it

explain this clearly.

First off, get rid of those bosch plat 4's. Those will actually hurt the performance of your car, something about the it's so insulated that it gives less of a spark on our cars. Get some NGK's (any will do) and some higher thickness wires. The skinny 5.5mm that comes stock won't cut it in the long run and will eventually burn up. When I had my MSD 6AL I had the 8.5mm Magnecore wires, were effin perfect. Also, change the cap and rotor. This is like a must when putting on an ignition with the power of an MSD. Also, what coil are you using? The stock coil? As long as you've wired things up right, it SHOULD be fine. I personally went with the MSD Blaster 2, a standard 12v coil. I had a problem with the car just dying because I had a bad connection to the coil itself, just something to try.
