i was just about home and the car just died. i tried to start it but nothing. i tried for quite a while too. every once in a while i would smell fuel...so i knew it had fuel. i let it sit for a while about 10 min. still nothing. i unplugged the msd and plugged in the stock ignition plugs and it started right up. i've only had the box for alittle ove a year....and less than 6000 miles. anyone know what msds' policy is for fixing items. i would like to continue using msd.

Call Lou at Autotronic Controls (MSD) 915-857-5200. He can set you up on the repair/replace of your MSD box. All of their warrenty papers I've seen show 1 Year. My 6 Off-Road box went intermittent in way less than a year, and they took it back and replaced it with a whole new one with a very quick turn-around of about 3-4 days total. Ask what you need to do to expedite it if you need to (I had to overnight it to them ~$10), otherwise it goes in under normal priority which is ~10-12 days.

I shorted out my MSD Digital 6 box, and didnt want to wait to send it in, have it repaired and sent back, so I bought a 2nd one thinking i would still send in the first one.....Well i shorted the 2nd one out and had them both in a drawer for 3years!!!

I found them a few weeks ago, Sent them into MSD to be fixed assuming they were out of warrenty, but to my suprize they warrentied both and sent me 2 NEW Digital 6's...

They were pretty good to me, they have your box "in house" for 10 business days on average..

what i found when trying to take it out was that the power wire had come loose from its' holder and rested on a pulley. the pulley eat right through it. fixed the wire and resecured it. it works just fine now.

How did you go about doing this? Did you speak to someone over the phone first before you sent it in?
I have a 6AL that I removed a few years back because I was having hard start problems. I put the stock stuff back on and it runs perfect.
