I'm running extra code v8 wasted spark if that is what you are trying I can send you my msq. Phil.

I am running MS2 Extra with 4 fairchild transistors in the lid of my MS. Started with fuel only with no real problems, the only problem I had was a few times in a half hour drive the MAPdot glitching negative values causing the MS to go into deccel which was set to 70% in AE, setting this to 100% cured the effect. Since connecting for wasted spark I now have RPM dips to 0 momentarily causing the MS to log engine not running which turns off the spark, this happens at around 1500rpm and at idle, was happening at every pull away. Changing the coil dwell from 3ms to 2ms has helped reduce this to 2 or 3 events in a half hour drive. I think this is obviously interferance from the coils and the fact that I just closed up the plug leads and jammed them into the Ford coils is probably why. My MS won't run my fuel relay from the Fuel pin or the Fidle pin so this is on a switch for now. Also, I now loose data in Megatune like required fuel, injections per cycle and an AFR table bucket value is always 0.2 when I open the table, but it all runs as it should. IAC (CLT) control in the end annoyed me so much I unplugged it (loosing steps and odd idle speeds). I have a 3.9 auto and set the idle with the allen screw at the throttle body, idles at 900 in neutral and 700 in gear and needs a bit of throttle from cold for a minute or so.

Removed my roof a couple of years ago, kept the top and sides but I don't think they'll ever go back on, mine's a soft truck cab, which lets you put the seat back further than a standard truck cab. Don't fancy dropping the screen though because I have a rapid V8. Any changes to my car (lots) don't affect insurance, as it's a 1986 'classic'.
