I am am currently modding my ford v6 and need some help with my Electromotive system install. This is a even fire motor with 3 coils mounted on each side of the motor. The firing order is 1-4-2-5-3-6 and have wired my coils as follows:

spark plug # Coil driver
1 A1
4 B1
2 C1
5 A2
3 B2
6 C2

My quesiton is what what motor do I configure? V6 even fire or odd?
Thanks very much for your help.

You'll actually select 6cyl duel plug. That will activate all 6 channels and make the engine run properly. 6cyl even fire mode is used when using the 6cyl DFU, and odd-fire is for V-6s that do not fire at even 120deg intervals, like the Maserati Bi-Turbo v6 or the Chevy 90deg v6.

Thanks Jon

One thought that I had; if I selected odd fire and left the offset at 0 would that eliminate the 2 sparks per engine cycle thus adding life to the spark plugs and wires?

Mike

If by setting the offset to 0, you mean setting the DFU B TDC equal to DFU A TDC, you will have effectively made the engine configuration the same as 6cyl dual plug. Regardless of the engine configuration, you'll be getting 1 spark per crank revolution. I doubt that switching to full sequential will make a significant difference in plug/wire life because the wasted spark really takes very little power. It's the actual combustion and stress of igniting the compressed mixture that eats up plugs and wires.

Ok, thanks Jon.
