Six days of testing at the track. We could not duplicate the problem unless we were launching at a prepped track. As the coil drivers got worse, the engine would not start after the drivers warmed up, so we had to find and fix that issue before we could trace down the harness issue. When multiple electronic issues appear at the same time, diagnosis gets complicated. We now carry a known good spare for every sensor and an extra set of coil drivers. We are getting the original harness repaired and will carry that as well.
