PLEASE HELP

I have a sr20det with a dictator wasted spark management system, its wired up the same as your diagram but i only have spark on cylinder 1 and 4 when cranking. I have rotated coils and still the same thing, i have got the trigger wheel from dictator, i have tried another igniter and i have tried another ecu but still the same problem

Swap the output from the igniter with 2&3 and see if the spark moves.

measure from the plug to number 2 and 3 and make sure that the correct cable is going there and make sure the trigger and home signal are not swapped

The cas should be turn all the to the right then the adjustment comes on the ecu so that the crank timing matches the the timing shown by the ecu

Why would my rpm on the dicktator fluctuate while cranking

At times it would go up to 30000 rpm and other times it will be normal while cranking

is 30000 a typo? you might have swapped the home and trigger signal around. make sure you have good grounding aswell
