Okay I just looked up in my Manual #16, it says the same. 423 should have over 3000 ohms to ground, and when i trigger 424, 423 should drop the ohms to under 1000. My module does it the opposite way. except when I remove the ground wire of the EFI harness. then it will do it the right way.

Merc Est / gm voyager / gm late model external coil hei / etc, etc. Has lots of names

It has EST ignition
Are you getting 5V on pin J2-24 Bypass?
Is there 5V reference at the MAP pin C and at TPS pin C?

I would not continue to troubleshoot anything until a battery and alternator is put into service and there are still issues. . My 02.

I have 5v on MAP and TPS. On J2-42 I have no 5V but let me check that twice.

Okay I first install a battery. Alternator is charging when engine runs.

Without 5V there, then the EST is not transferring timing to the ECM

When you say you have 5V on the others, is it exactly 5V or close to?
