I also forgot to mention that when i turned the ignition on WITHOUT STARTING THE CAR, the Red light on the MSD is NOT ON.Now im not sure if the RED indicator light is ONLY suppose to be on when the car is running.I will have to contact MSD for this!!

I was also thinking that the battery has low juice and this could of also been the problem but all my accessories work in the car and it does crank over?
During the tests that we did we also did have the charger on the battery the whole time and has built in Start feature and still didnt work!

Which fuse controls the Spark?
Is it the fuse box inside the engine bay or underneath the dash in the car!
Thanks! smile.gif

I checked all my fuses today and they all seem ok.I was with JED(THANKS BRO) smile.gif which measured the voltage of the coil pack and each one was reading about 9.2 ohms.In the Hyundai manuel it says anywhere from 10-13 ohms.
Now at 9.2 Ohms it shouldnt make that much of a difference for it not to start.I also checked each spark plug wire voltage and it was fine?
What can it be?

The ODBii software won't connect unless the engine is running. Since he can't get his car started, it won't work/connect.

Well guys apperantly my car was FLOODED and this i sthe reason why i had no spark from my Tiburon sad.gif
He drained my oil and said there was almost about 1L of gas inside my motor when he did my oil change.Im like eek! eek! eek! eek!

I never knew that if your car was flooded you would have no spark?

Anyways he says its running fine SO FAR and did notice the car stalled a few times and was idling under 500Rpms.He said he adjusted the Idle Screw and so its idling OK smile.gif
What else can cause my car to stall and idle at 500Rpms?
Can anything be wrong?
Thanks! smile.gif

You dont need the engine running.

You just need the Key in accesory mode. so that power is applied to the sensors and the ecu.

are you sure accesories? i would have thought only ON/Start,
as the MFI relay doesnt get energised until ON.

Random, not true, the ECU is running, regardless of wether
the engine is turning over or not.
you should get readings while cranking.
