I am lost.. My car started a couple months back, never ran it though since i wanted to tune it with sd kit and the new fmic. I ended up finding a used ecmlink v3 ecu but I couldn't get it to connect, after a while on reading on ecmlink wiki pages I figured out that their was something wrong with the ecu since the check engine light would not turn off after having the KOEO. I sent it out to ecmlink and the chip had been installed backwards, they put in a new chip sent it back and i'm getting no spark in cylinder 2&3. I have 2 used power transistors that worked before with my old ecu and I bought a new one just incase, my cas worked before as well and I bought a used one to test, I get fuel to all injectors just no spark in those cylinders. After going crazy :banghead: and taking a break from it I decided to try it with my old ecu and the spark jumps to the other coil and gets spark in 2&3 and looses it in 1&4. I have tried all 3 power transistors with each ecu and same result. It was running before and the only thing I did was install the sd and omni 4 bar. Could their be something with the ecu again? :ohdamn:
 
I would measure out the ignition components with a multimeter to verify they are good. If they are, it may still be your ecu. I sent mine in to be socketed and chipped and it came back that I always had phantom knock. After a year, many broken parts, and many new useless parts, I found out it was indeed the ecu where they socketed it causing my issue. They did fix it for free. Now I'm not saying that your ecu is your issue but it's still a possibility.
 
I tested my coil pack and it came out good, tested both used power transistors and I was getting weird readings with my dads analog ohmeter. I used this method for testing- http://www.dsmtuners.com/threads/how-to-test-the-power-transistors.229419/ and that's why I ended up getting a new one. I honestly feel like it might be the ecu :/ that's probably why the spark jumps just from switching ecu's but the weird thing is with my old ecu it had spark on all four.
