looks like i may have gotten lucky.
just for grins i hooked my msd tester up figureing to let the existing 6al box run on the tester at 8k rpm for awhile.
hooked it up, turned the dial and only a split second of spark. I notice the tester would keep going thru its text boot up procedure...
yes each and every part has been swapped out and yes it still does it.
both ecm's are version 5.1
ecm used this past sunday revision date: 10-26-05
other ecm revision date: 2-13-06
fwiw the ecm with 10-26-05 revision date I just sold to the guy i borrowed it from.

craig hope you see this.
went to track with borrowed ecm. same thing happened.
we now have 2 datalogs showing the shutdown.
1 is during a burnout.
2nd is during a 60ft.
both of them show 12v ignition dropping to from 13.1 to 12.4 and then shutdown.
alternator was swapped out...

I am going to try a known good borrowed box as well as disconncet the tach( move tach to tach output on msd box).
craig, are you the same craig that used to work at accel dfi?

ok so before i throw this gen7 box in the dumpster, i gotta tell ya all its listed on ebay with a reserve of 700.
current bid as of 130 pm today saturday is 608.

new price 800 plus shipping.
fwiw this is the cost for a emic to purchase direct from accel.
std shipping is only like 12-20, additional inusrance for full value???
