Trouble with new MSD ignition coil setup
Hi guys,
Recently I purchased MSD ignition coils and fit them on my Rx8.
Everything was tested, coil, harness, wires, all is good.
I didn't have any problems with the OEM coils, I just wanted an upgrade.
Once I installed the MSD coils, the car is very long to start, and there is an obvious lack of power. I went back to the OEM, and everything is fine. I did a PCM reset and drove about 100km with the MSD.
We are two guys with the exact same problem.
-New MSD setup
-starting failure
-lack of power
-all parts are good and double checked
My friend thinks it could be the excentric position captor that is not sufficiant anymore with the more powerfull coils. He will change it soon.
Any of you guys ever heard of this kind of stuff?
Thank you very much, and sorry for my english, I'm french ;-)
Cheers

Many in Europe use MSD coils, as it is American product I thought you guys would have more knowledge of them.
It seems that the shaft sensor is what give the signal to the pcm for ignition. That's why my friend will try to replace it.
