LS2 coils and aem tuner

Post by driftedoffroad »

Ok so this is my first time using aem tuner. I used aem pro briefly before but anyway here is my dilemma.

The car was running last year on this tune. I added LS2 coils (regular not truck coils) and do not see any option for them. I tried both LS1 and LS2 truck coil's settings in aem tuner. Neither works; I am getting spark though so I am figuring its just a setting to change.

Additionally, I turned all 4 coils on and set them all to trailing edge.

Any one use these coils and know how to set them up in aem? Any help greatly appreciated!

I didn't do anything else...How come I would have to change that? Also got it running rough by turning my fpr up a little (I swithed the lines from one side to the other since last year) but now my starter is dead lol.

because you can have the coils turned on but leave the ingnition phasing at 0 and not get spark.. that is why, and if you had spark on coil 1 ( which i just assumed was the only one you checked) that would be normal, because in the stock .cal coil 1 is the only one that is active / setup in the igniton phasing


anyway, glad you got it fixed...

Yea I think that's what it was, the ignition phasing being off. I did have spark at all 4 though. You just threw me off a little cause you said injector phasing in your first post lol. Thanks for the help
