OK, so these things are probably NOT connected, but that is really all I have done to the car, and now it won't start.
It's the B21FT with MS1V3.0 w/ Extra. LH2.2 dist. Ford "e"coil (Like what you would find in an 80's 2.3T Ford). Has been running that way for 2-3 years now.
Anyway, the car had been running and being tuned with my 14point7 SLC Free B. That took a dump a couple months ago, so to keep the car on the road, I swapped back in the NBO2 and changed that setting in TS.
Car has been running fine, and I think I last drove it about a week ago.
I picked up a 14point7 Spartan WBO2, and get it installed today. Changed/disturbed no wiring on the current set-up, other than to unplug the O2 signal wire.
I changed the setting in TS back to the WBO2 and went to start the car. Cranks but no tach signal in TS nor the tach (which is a factory tach, fed from the coil).
The resistances in the coil windings are inconclusive (1.7 on the primary and 8K on the secondary). So it MAY be the coil. (That type can fail suddenly vs the oil canister type)
Doing another check to see if the dist is working, I put the key in RUN and rotate the dist back and forth by hand, and I *should* hear the injectors at least click when the hall sensor is triggered. Nothing there either.
So, did the coil fail or the Hall effect in the dist just fail, while the car was sitting?
