[s-cars] 034 Motorsports coil conversion harness

[Tom Green]

Tom,

Are you sure that you have total ignition cutout and not total fuel  
cutoff?

If you do know it is ignition cutout, then the path suggested by Dave  
F could yield results.
It probably needs to be done anyway.  034 stands behind their  
products as well as any
one, so I would think your investment (less labor :-) ) is safe.

If you are not sure, I would be suspecting fuel cutoff because of an  
overboost signal to the
ECU, probably from a boost leak at one of the hoses.  This would most  
likely accompany
one or several malfunction codes and probably a MIL light.  Checking,  
recording , and
clearing codes could be useful in diagnosis.

Tom
