just did a 6 bolt swap amoung a bunch of other things on my car. Here's what the car is doing: Turns over fine but kicks to try to start every once in a while. Car is getting plenty of fuel. I definately think that it is spark related. I have tried so many plug wire combinations it's not even funny. I've got a socketed 95 ecu with dsm link and plug wires are 1342 to coil now.

After cranking the MSD dis-2 blinks three times which the book says intermittent input signal. Anyone have this code before and what was the solution. I know that it's tough to troubleshoot over the computer just didn't know if anyone had any insight on this code.

edit
also i hooked the timing light up to each of the plug wires and turned the car over to ensure that their was spark going to all the plugs and their is. It does seem like it is not consistant however. I have two sets of wires, two coil packs and a COP that i have tried multiple combinations of each with no good end result yet. Really trying to scramble here to get car running because it is my daily driver that has been down for 2 monthes now and wanted to try to get it at least running and the gremlin out before heading back to work after new years.

Thanks in advance and happy new years to all
 
try taking of the MSd box my friend had one that just went bad and it gave his car a no start. His light was blinking. His also blew out his coil pack though. The car he had was a 94 tsi awd.
 
My recomendation: Ditch the DIS-2. I have had nothing but problems with the things. Misfiring, weird intermittant bad running issues, and had one just give up the ghost. Actually, in my turbo Rio, I ended up using a MegaSquirt with DSM ignition modules to the best effect, so I know the DSM ignition system is good stock.
