bad ground?
Hello Guest, welcome to the initial stages of our new platform!
You can find some additional information about where we are in the process of migrating the board and setting up our new software here
Thank you for being a part of our community!
I'm having the exact same issue. I've hooked it up before but kind of ghetto, and had the same issue. Then I took the time and did my wiring with nice copper wires and waterproof electrical components just like kodja shows in his tutorial. Exact same issue. Although I have not checked for spark, the video posted above is 100% exactly what is happening to me.I got my engine running with the mod, but it doesn't run well. I have checked wirings, changed sparks plugs and cables, tested that there's spark in every cylinder. Seems like bad timing or something..?

What should I try next?
I use Bosch 2x2 -407 and Miata/MX-5 J702T
Thank you sir. I'll probably check this out again this Sunday. I haven't rev'd the car long enough to actually get it start, but it turns over just like the video above posted.I had a problem where my car would barely idle and wouldn't rev out at all. turns out it was a bad solder joint on the ground wire to the BuchkaBoard.
Hi, just found the connector and wires for the Bosch 2x2 motorsport coil.
partnr for the connector: 977929
partnr for the wires: 30656689 (need 3!)
can be found in your local volvodealer. or ordered there not expencive either!
This drawing is very helpful, but just to confirm, BOTH the 12v to the ICM and the coil should be switched, correct?
If so, are the existing 12v to the stock ICM and coil suitable (switched)? Thank you! (Hoping to get my board soon!)
Also the bosch 2x2 can be found on some Land Rovers, 2003-2004 I believe. So the coil and connector could be found together at the junk yard.
