	Hello guys, After a bit of help. I have a car running megasquirt via ford EDIS-6, the EDIS setup looks like this (goolge image) I want to replace & upgrade the HT leads in an effort to solve a underload misfire. Have any of you ever been in this position - I am tempted to order this DIY kit www.ebay.co.uk/itm/IGNITION-LEAD-KIT-IN-8MM-HIGH-PERFORMANCE-RED-CABLE-FOR-THE-6-CLY-4-METERS-HT-/121046623799?_trksid=p2141725.m3641.l6368 But thought I'd ask first. Basically I need ford coilpack caps 8mm leads to bmw spark plug ends.

	i had to drop the plug gap to .8 in my 1uzfe twin turbo with ms2 edis 8 set up to hold the spark at 8 psi . Didn't alter any thing in ms for dwell time etc just felt a bit wooly on the Dyno and dropping the gap sorted it . Ngk resister grade 7

	Sooo... it turns out all I needed to do was adjust the spark dwell settings in tunerstudio! Runs like a dream now.

	Worth checking your plug gaps though you might be pushing the coil pack if you've altered the dwell as they're pretty good settings for edis systems

	Nice ride. i had some similar missfires with megasquirt & EDIS, just wondered what dwell where you running before & what dwell are you running now?

	The dwell would be the first thing I check? What brand are the leads and coilpack. If they are Intermotor you stand no chance of having that thing running. Almost every car I've had with Shitermotor coilpacks has caused me to chase my own for a problem I put there in the first place. Maybe I was unlucky but I've never had that problem on the same cars with Beru/Bosch or genuine parts (the leads are curse word in Bosch, and Wanknecor, sorry Magnecor were no better ; Genuine was the only way but Jesus it was pricey). In case you think I'm one of those who say "genuine to cover myself" I've covered around 900,000 in Ford Mondeos in both 4 pot and V6 flavour, with some scars left unfortunately.
