ignitor nissan V6 VG30DE

[Brent Frampton]

Hi, replaced the standard Nissan ignitor for a Link 3 channel ignitor Part #13, wired it computer out ign 1 to cyclinder1&4    ign2 to cyclinder 2+5  ign 3 to cyclinder 3+6   won't start.

a/ is this the correct wiring

b/ how can I test to find a solution

could the computer need re setting

So I believe the VG30DE has a firing order of 1-2-3-4-5-6. Unless you have converted to wasted spark ignition coils you are going to need 2 x 3 channel ignitors.

If you do have wasted spark coils then the ignitor wiring up is like this:

• ECU's Ignition 1 goes to ignitor channel 1 input. Ignitor channel 1 output goes to coil 1, which goes to cylinders 1 and 4.
• ECU's Ignition 2 goes to ignitor channel 2 input. Ignitor channel 2 output goes to coil 2, which goes to cylinders 2 and 5.
• ECU's Ignition 3 goes to ignitor channel 3 input. Ignitor channel 3 output goes to coil 3, which goes to cylinders 3 and 6.

Scott is correct with six coils you must have one ignite channel for each coil.

If you try to run two coils from one ignite channel you halve the available current and end up with a very weak spark that might not be enough to run the engine.

Hi thanks, thats must be the problem, I have six coils so I will use 2 Part #13 ignitors which should give me 6 channels, will give it a go. regards Brent

Hi sat down tonight and re-wired with 2 ignitors, fired straight up, thanks a million.
