Alright so after tracking everything back, my 330 ohm was toast no continuity through it. Replaced. Then I had a complete cct from top of r26 to base of Q16.yay.
But this seemed tempermental? It didnt work but then it changed its mind?...
Now I have a good meter my trusted greenlee, its reads milivoltages all of the time ( basically the same voltage as if you leave your meter legs in open air) but I did catch glimpses of a 5 v signal, so I figure I can deem this good. Wish i had an osciliscope.
passPut one test lead to a solid ground. The other test lead to the Emitter Leg of the ignition driver (far right leg). if the multimeter beeps you have a solid Base ground.
pass2) Put one test lead to a solid ground (or the far right leg (Emitter)of the ignition driver) the other lead goes on the middle leg (Collector)of the ignition driver. Use the stimulator get the MS unit flashing that D14 led light like its running. Also you can set your dewll time to the max to make sure your multimeter can detect the ground. every time it flashes you should get a beep. Or if your inverted you will get a beep every time its not flashing.

pass3) set digital multi meter to DC voltage range that will let you see 5v. This is assuming you have a good multimeter not some $5 crap special. Connect one end to a ground and the other to the far left leg (Base) of the Transistor. every time the led flashes on or off depending on your settings you should see a quick 5v blip. I like to use my scope for this stuff but it can be done with a good logging multi meter. I have a multi meter that will tell me the highest voltage detected and how long it was detected for. Also if you don't have something this fancy some cheaper digital multimeter can measure dwell. you will not get a voltage but you will get how long a signal was detected.
