Strange MSD Digital 2-step issue

Kens429 · 06-09-2013, 01:39 PM

I race an old stock eliminator car in the UMTR. I have been running a MSD Digilal 6 programable ignition for the past 2 years with no issues until last night. The 2-step is not working only at the starting line. I checked it in the pits,; no problems. I checked it in the staging lanes; no problem. I checked it in the water box; still good. Then as I stage; no 2-step. After the pass, I test back at the trailer without shutting the car off, it freakin works fine! I have a light on the dash that indicates that the switch is activated, it was lit every time. The line lock is wired separate, and is released by hand. All tests were preformed with and without the line lock to rule it out. I can see no wiring problems. I made 5 passes, with the same result. Could the track timing equipment be causing some sort of interference?

BTW first time racing at the very nice Lyons Raceway.
