No Fidle Lite on stim PWM

Hello all, I just completed my first M/S build.
I have a M/S 2, V 3.0 board and a Jim Stim V 1.5. Theres only a couple things I cant figure out. I have it set up to run EDIS, but I am not getting any ignition lights on stim but I am reading RPM. Just no blinky. Second, I get no light on the Idle circuit which is set up for PWM, I'm using a Tip120 in place of Q4. The TIP I had laying around so, theres a possibility it is bad, but how would I test it?

I'd like to check your settings; please post a copy of your MSQ. The settings may be killing the outputs.
Also, did you jumper JS10 to IGN, and on the JimStim jumper 36/IGN to one of the IGN LEDs?

Ah, the ign jumper I did not do. I havent found much info on jumper placement for this stim yet, or am i just not looking in the right places. Also, how do I post my MSQ file?

Ok, the ign seems to be working, the LED gets brighter and dimmer as I rotate the pots. Now, is the LED suppose to get dimmer as RPM is raised?

Depending on your settings, it my be brighter or dimmer with RPM.

Ok, I'm about 80% sure I got the PWM idle control hooked up as per the directions, but I have no lights on my stim verifying it. Should the Fidle light flash with response to Hz and duty cycle on my tuner studio? If so, I've tried several combinations. And heres a copy of my msq.
Oh, and I know theres a big spike in the PWM for idle, thats because I was hoping If I put a 100% in there and dialed my coolant temp into that place that maybe the light might come on for me. No luck though.

It should be full on at 100% duty cycle. It won't respond quite as much to Hertz.

Is there a chance my TIP 120 is shot? If so, I spose Ill go grab a new one from frys. I'm 90% sure I hooked up the wires from the Q4 slot to the TIP right. Do I need to Jumper D8 or leave it empty as I have it now? I have to get this working within the next day or so because I'm going to the test stand this weekend and gotta be able to fire my 5.0 before I drop it in the car. Thanks so far Matt.

Leave D8 empty. Do not jumper it under any circumstances.
