Hi! I have a Black ECU with a defective ignition output #1. I’m running this on a 6-cylinder engine with one ignition output per coil. Is it possible to configure it as wasted spark using only 3 outputs and logic coils? If so, how do I set this up in the software/client? Thanks, Henrik ---

Henrik, you have to select the same ouput for event 1 and event 4 same output for event 2 and 5 same output for event 3 and 6 Normal firing order for a inline 6 cil is 1-5-3-6-2-4 So wire cil 1 and 6 together 2 and 5 3 and 4 ---

Hi and thanks for answering. Will this setup in the client be correct ? ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/ecumaster/original/2X/4/4080fb67b44ea578be116d6fa8333f2b839515e3.png) ---

According to the post above, your firing order is correct, but you’ve assigned the outputs incorrectly. You’ll want to match it to what the previous replier said. ---

OK , So like this ? ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/ecumaster/original/2X/7/7d1589afaeac69e7dc8f8b44a07d65dc1be79db9.png) ---

That looks right to me. At least according to the previous reply. I haven’t ever setup a 6 cyl. But that matches how I have my 4 cyl wired. ---

Just want to inform that this setup is working just fine.
