Unhappy MSD ignition problem HELP Pleaseee!!!!!

ok i have a problem w/my ignition. It's an MSD procap ignition w/SS Blaster coil and a 6A box and its on a 94 GSR Teg. last night the car died while driving, but all electrical worked. now it will only crank, but it doesnt try to kick over. the fuel injectors and pump are working as u can smell the fuel, but it seems like we're getting no spark what so ever. i dont know what happend, but the coil volts are reading around .4 so its not getting power. can we bypass the 6A box and just hotwire the coil to the battery?

Un-install all the msd bullshit and run a factory distributor.

unless your making 500+hp the stock ignition will work fine with less possibilities for failure

I've seen 670whp with stock ignition.

Most of the time, msd burns up the ignitor inside the dizzy. That's $250 from honda haha

Get rid of that crap. I've seen dyno charts where msd's will lose power up top on hondas

.......I've had nothing but horrible & expensive bad luck with MSD products in the past.
If I were you...I'd Uninstall that garbage, Go back to stock, and make some money of that crap on the Honda-tech.com Market Place.

The only thing msd that will work on any honda that is less than several hundred HP is the plug wires, and even those aren't the best. Msd is a good company, and there stuff does work, but the ignition is one of the things that honda made that can't be improved upon and shouldn't be messed with. Pull the msd out, go back to stock and have fun driving your car.

Even the msd plug wires are not needed. Honda oem spark plug wires = the best

alright its your coil more then likely...try disconnecting your batt..when i ran my drag car on the street i had the same shit happen to me..the coil was to close to my headers(car was a 93 camaro with over 700hp) and the coil got hot and it killed the spark..i had every thing in the world but not enough of a spark out put to crank the engine over..i parked the car dis the batt and then came back the next day and connected every thing and it fired right up..i had a blaster coil 2..
