Gents, I'm hoping you can help me, I'm a little blind in this area of cars.

We've wired up all my megajolt as per all the guides and we are not getting a spark. I am using the MED trigger wheel and bracket sensor and a magneti marelli SEN8D sensor that came with the MED kit.

Using the magneti marelli sensor it just isn't sparking, but if we hold a fiesta sensor against the trigger wheel it fires.

I'd rather not bodge the ford sensor to fit the MED bracket so wondered if anyone had experienced this before? Can I swap the magneti marelli sensor for another that has the same mounting points or is the sensor wired up wrong?

Any help great fully appreciated!

Wired up back to front?

Is it as simple as that? Where is best to swap the wires over? Near the edis?

also check it hasn't picked up some swarf on the end of the sensor

It is 100% free from swarf :)

Swap the wired over wherever is convenient. Where it plugs in will probably be the easiest?

We ended up swapping the wires over just before the EDIS and it fired first time :)
