If you are saying no output on 1+3 but theres output on 2+4 then for a start you have your leads wrong.

I have done countless videos on youtube, here they are agin, on how to set this up... as well as it being fully explained in the manual.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OqkMjQxMjn8

Based on other questions you have posted I would strongly advise getting a RR to set it up as basic things like this can only mean frustrations for you....

End result is its simply up and running. The NODIZ is VERY easy to install and get running, but a post like the above means you havent followed the wiring diagrams, read the manual or watched any of the vids, and its only a matter of time before possible damage to your engine!

Either way, if still stuck give us a call on 01373 30 30 33 and we can talk you through some tips but please at the very least watch all the NODIZ videos we have done, check our nodiz forums and read the manual...

Cheers
Matt

ive already been down and had it sorted.

and there was a problem with the unit.

please dont try and say ive got things wrong.

there was no output for 1+3.... and 2 was firing with just the ignition on in time with the green light flashing and 4 was normal. i had everything spot on.


and i think you remember me coming down and sorting it out.

like i said i had all these problems and i came down to you guys and you said there was no problem with the unit and you updated the software.

i went home plugged it back in and its worked... so the wiring was right and it was the unit was at fault.


I WOULD NOT RECCOMMEND NODIZ TO ANYONE!!!!! GO MEGAOLT THE PEOPLE ARE NICER AND DONT TRY AND PATRONISE YOU

1 and 3 are on different coils

firing order is 1342

so output 1 will fire...1...4...1...4...1...4...1...4...
so output 2 will fire......3...2...3...2...3...2...3....

so 2 and 4 are working?

edit: no im sorry, if 1 + 3 are not working then you have something wrong because the statement

implies 2 and 4 are working

since nodis directly drives fords wasted spark coilpacks which are paired 1+4 / 2+3 DUE to the firing order 1342
it is impossible for 1+3 to not to be getting the signal when 2+4 are ( or as you word it no output for 1+3 )

wasted spark coil packs fire 2 plugs at once left bank / right bank ( looking at the coil pack it is obvious the 2 separate sides) were these HT leads go to is down to the installer
so the 'signal' nodiz puts out is to simply fire coils... both coils on the left bank then both coils on the right bank.... left / right / left / right we then wire this up 1+4 / 2+3 / 1+4 / 2+3
since the left bank has 2 coils we wire this to 1+4, the right bank has 2 coils also these are wired to 2+3


can you see what is being said

cylinder 1 will always spark with cylinder 4 and cylinder 2 will always spark with cylinder 3

Yes I know that!!!!!!!!


As I'm telling you that 1 and 3 had no output at all I'm not on about a firing order at all!!!!!!!

1 no spark, 2 was firing with just the ignition on not the engine running, 3 no spark, 4 was working!!!!


The unit was obv not working properly because when I had it back and plugged it back in it worked perfectly



Once again I know the firing order is 1-4, 2-3....

Firing order is 1 3 4 2, I think you meant the pairs that are fired which are 1+4, 3+2.
But yeah it sounds odd that it didn't work, and then all of a sudden did work. Unless there was a bad connection somewhere and replugging it in reinstated something that wasn't connecting properly before.

Yeah I know,

I took it down to them for testing and he said it working fine and uploaded the newest software to it, I went home plugged it in and it worked, it wasn't a dodgy connection because I unplugged it about 10 times :L

Must of been dodgy software or something

Please consider your statement:

----
As I'm telling you that 1 and 3 had no output at all I'm not on about a firing order at all!!!!!!!

1 no spark, 2 was firing with just the ignition on not the engine running, 3 no spark, 4 was working!!!!

-----

Cylinder 1 & 4 are wired to a coil pack via 1 signal wire that comes from the NODIZ. If 4 was sparking, 1 SHOULD of been sparking if our wiring was correct. Seriously, think about it... its the SAME TRIGGER SIGNAL.

2 & 3 share this property. You cannot have 2 not sparking without 3 (they spark at the same time firing order has nothing to do with it as it is wasted spark....)

So to reiterate:

You had spark from 4 ERGO you have spark from 1 - Unless the other HT side of your coil pack was earthing through thinair

You had Spark from 2 ERGO the above also applies...


I wasnt patronising you, and I am sorry if you felt I was but advising you to read the manual, watch the videos and indeed call if you had an issues goes to show this, also illustrates I had no idea it was you who popped down...

So to go ahead and say 'dont use nodiz' yet your car is now up and running with it, and to say we are unhelpful is very strange indeed!

If 1 was firing so was 4 and vice versa, as others have pointed out that is simple the way the coils are wired.

And I dont know it was you who came down, you never introduced yourself as 'coopdog' or whatever...

However you did come down and I met you after hours because I had meetings and there was NOTHING wrong with your unit.

I re-flashed it as a matter of course, the firmware image is always the same.

Your statements are logically incorrect:

If 4 works, I can assure you 1 does also, as they fire at the same time :)

If 2 is sparking, as is 3.

The above 2 lines only apply if the coils are of course wired correctly, which from your statement, it appeared you did not have them wired correctly.

Never mind, I am glad you now up and running either way, though please don't jump to conclusions when I only offer my help, and if you write a statement that makes no sense, of course I will correct you. As has the other guys tried to point out.

I even did a video on W/S ignition, such that these issues wouldn't become exactly that, an issue!

Cheers
Matt (the incredibly unhelpful guy, yet went out of his way, from Nodiz :) )

I've seen people connect plug leads onto wasted spark coil packs in 'the correct order' only to find out that they are infact 90 degrees out
