If you have a wire from the points contact on the MSD ignition box to any retard module, disconnect it and watch for a spark indication on the main box. I still will have intermittent start failures. When I disconnect the grey wire - even if my MSD 8 is connected directly to the distributor with the starter saver technically out of the loop - the car will fire. It's like the box gets confused if has wires connected to both it's points and magnetic outputs.

Re: Car will not start.
Now that I know it's an electronic fuel injection unit...........way too many things can be wrong. I would try to erase the programming and reprogram it from what was in it when it ran last. Don't assume the program is OK. I had an MSD ignition that developed a miss and the reprogramming fixed it. These things are just computers... Reboot and start over.
