Coil on plug and Wasted spark

[Mr. Peepers]

I want to go to the stock coil on plug set up for the ignition, but in wasted spark mode, so, I wired the pairs of coils in parallel after the dual ignition module. This obviously does not work because spark gap that the arch can jump is very small. Can anyone tell me what to do?

Hey Mr. Peepers,

Try wiring them in series. This works great with our built in igniters (spark gap jumps 1" easily depending on coils). Also, look at your dwell settings if you are using a "dumb" igniter.

If you are playing around with spark, is it safe to assume that you got the Haltech working correctly after our phone conversation?
