No Start issue

I run ECU-GN with TR6 and was running down the road fine until it started dropping a cylinder and assume it was a bad coil after diagnosing swapping wires around to validate but on the way home it got worse and now the car is down. Fresh set of plugs and started swapping parts but now I'm stumped. Car is now not starting after swapping another TR6 and finally a stock Module and Coil. I think it's the crank trigger but I saw the rpm around 200 rpm trying to crank it but after I recorded a High speed logger I don't see it sometimes. Really frustrated and need direction. Can you take a look at the files and let me know if ECU is seeing crank trigger or maybe I have another issue.

it looks like the crank and cam triggers are working in the 2 logs that would open. It looks like your ecu is in "log cam and crank" mode,

make sure your ignition decoder is set correctly, cycle the key, and record another composite log.

So I recorded 13.25.18 CSV with Log Crank Cam and the other 13.28.29 MLG file with is Tooth Wheel. So in the process I noticed my Cam Sync was around 144 which could be the problem?

it looks like the crank signal may be your issue.

So more digging and I found out my TR6 got moisture inside the box so that explains all the weirdness going on. :rolleyes: So at this point I changed out my TR6 Box out with another known good one that I had laying around using a truck coil with CFG 4 flipped On.
So now I have no Crank Sensor signal. :confused:
I checked the voltage at the sensor plug green wire with the ignition key on and that wire only has about 1.50-1.75 volts. Shouldn't it have more or is that normal? I also changed Cam Sensor before that as well.

was that with the sensor plugged in?

can you watch the LEDs inside the unit when cranking? until the unit syncs there will be no crank signal sent to the ecu.

I checked green wire on plug with sensor not plugged in and grounded to chases as well as test to Black wire on plug and got 1.7v for both. Also did Sensor plugged in back probing wires and got 1.5v. Sorry I forgot to mention 1st thing I did was to crank the car with lid off and no Leds were flickering like normal. No Sync led lit up.
So the TR6 is set to Mode 4 ON and CFG 4 ON.

sounds like a power problem. let me get the diagrams out and give you some things to check.

the TR6 grounds thru its mounting bolts, so painted brackets will cause issues.

Update:
I got it cranked. . Thx Bob. No power was correct sunset I accidentally bent the module pin connector on the 2nd TR6 when plugging it in. No power to module.
I was able to bend the connector back straight so it would plug in gently.
1st TR6 got moisture inside and fried 3 coils and was giving me fits for diagnosing things.
2nd TR6 I plugged into module and bent the left pin.
All good now.
Thanks for your patience!!
