EMU Pro 16 V12 ignition coil outputs

Wired an Aston Martin V12 with an EMU pro 16. It’s from a DB7 so the Ford era of AM, so it’s using Motorcraft 3 pin ignition coils.
Looking at the wiring diagram for them, I thought there were active coils. However that didn’t work on the car, tried them as passive coils and they fired. Well 10 of them did. Apparently Ford added an extra ground pin to a passive 2 pin coil.

Pro16 uses H bridge 4A+B as the ignition 11 and 12 outputs. I tested all the coils and wiring to confirm non of that was the issue.

Can ign 11 and 12 be used with passive coils?

I also can’t test ign 11 and 12 on the ignition part of the output test, I can on the H bridge output but that would trigger the coil. Using the assigned ignition outputs mode also didn’t trigger then or get caught by a multimeter.
Testing with a multimeter I get 0.87 Mohm’s to ground when not triggered or in test, 8.7 ohms when testing the output. I think i’d need a oscilloscope to see the trigger pulse, but didn’t have one with me and the multimeter didn’t see it.

Is there a capacitor for the passive coils? Any shot it aids to more than noise suppression?

no capacitor, unsure if the OEM ecu used a coil driver but probably.

Finding documentation on these engines has been really tough. I have noticed my laptop screen was shutting off when the engine was cranking, so EMI was definitely bad. ECU in the footwell, grounded to each cylinder head.

I have mathed out that going to wastespark is possible, or swapping to VW 1.8T coils will also fit.leaning to smart coils as that’s what I it wired for

No, they cannot.
EMU PRO drives 12x active or 10x passive coils

That’s what I figured.

I also found the answer in the Pro16 pinout guide
