I ran my LT-1 with an Accel gen VII and a crank trigger.

I used an MSD 7al2 until it failed and than an MSD Digital 6

I did not send the crank trigger into the Accel ECU..

I ran it just like any std non efi engine. Timing was locked and set at the trigger.

I felt since I was new at this ....it was simpler and it was...

I gutted a stock distributer and added an MSD cap and rotor...

So my fuel pump and ignition were basically outside of the ECU...

The injectors of course have to run for the engine to start...

The tests Rob said to do should reveal the problem.....but you have to get it to NOT start first....

A cam sync sensor as I recall was only needed if your were running your EFI as a sequential firing order.....

P.S. I could not get my car to even start the first time I tried......wiring issue. ECU to MSD....
