installed Emamage onto a 99 maixma today(VQ30DE)...well almost everything went well until the attempted start up. since the Maxima uses a coil per plug setup(kinda like with a J&S), we used the "V6 individual ignition" setup as described in the manual(p.24) where ch1=coil 1, ch2=coil2...etc, etc.. when
finished we tried to start the car and it will crank, but not turn
over, I rechecked the wiring, perfect, firing order is 123456 and
since that will correspond with channels 1-6 in the same order the
wiring isn't too complicated or easy to screw up. so next I disconnected
the emanage igniton harness from the OEM ECU wires and reconnected
them back to stock...the car starts RIGHT up(which leads to believe I wired it up wrong initially, but I can't see how), I check the
datalog/real-time and the emanage is registering eveything(injector
duty cycle, afm voltage, etc.) fine, so we no the unit is acting
fine and working...car revs fine and no red LED on the main unit.

so my main question is for anyone who has done this on the Maxima(I know yall are lurking) or an idividual coil pack vehicle have you expericed this problem when using the "V6 individual igition" connection metod listed on page 24? is this the right method? I'm passed confused right now, its almolst 2am and we're still in the garage trying to figure this **** out

 

excuse me some times i can be stupid.. is this some sort of ignition booster.. cause if it is i have mine all wired to the ground from each coil..
it sends a hot wire to increase the spark..let me know so i dont sound stupid

 

6 channel worked fine for me. I just haven't gotten it to work with the J&S.

 

did you have to change any of the jumper settings?? have you blown any coils?? also according to Mardigras the J&S needed resistors(forgot which ohm) inline with the coil signals in order to work...we were thinking that was the reason why the Emanage wasn't working for the ignition. Corey than called up Greddy and apparently they are having the same problem on their 350Z and apparently they are releasing a new ignition harness that has in-line resistors built into it.

 

Hey thomas I have been aware that you have been able to get this working!! but Is it possible that you can give us some help here???? It seems that you have been the only person but you havent given us any info on how!!!

Thanks in Advance!!

C the emanage is a piggy back ECU
