Hello,
I am attempting to use the stock coil packs and ignition module (delphi #125692276) on my 02 2.2L ecotec. I purchased MS-II (hasn't arrived yet) # MS 230-K. I am looking for help making the stock stuff work. I was told that there are problems trying to use the stock CPS. I am trying to build on budget and I would like to avoid purchasing the MSD distributor.
Any advice or direction would be greatly appreciated, I plan to help others in my situation when I finish this project.
Thanks

im going to be doing a megasquirt install on a 2.2l ecotec. ive talked to several people and they have had issues using any stand alone on the stock ecotec ignition. gm recomends coil on plug or the eco distributor.

what i found out is that the 2.2l ecotec crank wheel is the same as any other gm 4 cyl. im going to be using 2.2l ohv coil module and coil packs. the crank sensor goes directly to the ignition module, and the megasquirt is fed with the opt in from the ignition module (coil plate).

not yet. i just finnished the ms install, however im still waiting to get the turbo manifold built. this ecotec is swapped into a 90 sunbird convertable, so even bolting a stock manifold on to get it running is ut of the question.

mabey talk to some of the guys on www.j-body.org in the tuning forum. most run HP tuners, im sure someone could pull the timing map for you. i will be doing my own timing table as this motor is turboed, so itll be a lot different.

about all i can tell ya is the ecotec likes only around 20-22 degrees total timing.

the person this motor came from was running it in his 2005 cavalier, it was turboed and he was running an ms1 fuel only, so i have his fuel map to work from, although ive set most of the tune up myself.
