I think mine has died. The car suddenly shutoff and would not restart. I am getting no voltage on the coil wires or dist. wires coming from the box. I do have a steady red light on the box. I am using a msd dist and coil. What say you??

if you still have the instructions there is a trouble shooting section that is helpful. i bet msd post their instructions online also. if not post back, i think i still have mine out in my shop.

Hi, thanks for the response. I have read the instructions for trouble shooting and there is no spark. It does not say anything about testing the wire leads only check the connections. I am trying to find out if the msd box is bad. Any more info would be helpful. Thanks,

Go to their web site. It has alot of info and a trouble shooting forum where you can get even more info.

i had problems with mine too, did that, then worked the next day..... 1 thing i've found make SURE you have the ground from it to the block or head not the chasis, makes a difference.... but i still ended up replacing mine with just a 6AL never had a problem since.

Had mine go dead on the road. MSD folks helped me troubleshoot and easily determined that the box was okay, but my coil was shot. Easy fix. It is a little complicated to check for spark - doesn't work the old fashioned way.

Update. Had to bite the bullet and buy a new one. It takes several weeks to months to get one back when sent in for repairs. The car starts normal again so it was the box. I guess if it is your daily transportation you will have to buy 2 of the them so you can get to work while your old one is sent in for repair. Thanks for the responses.
