Wiring MSD 6A to replace the ICM (Ignition Control Module - Igniter)
Integra, EMS 30-1010, MSD 6A, Blaster SS Coil, MSD Cap
I just installed my MSD and wired it up in the following manner: (stock coil and igniter are gone)

After changing the Dwell Coil Factor setting to 20, I tried to crank it for the first time and got nothing. So then I disconnected the injectors plug and set the coil wire next to a bolt to see if a spark appeared. No spark when I cranked.
I then did a manual check of the install by giving the WHITE wire from the MSD a ground pulse and a massive spark crossed the gap from the MSD wire (from the Blaster SS Coil) to the bolt. So that showed me that the ignition was installed/wired correctly.
Now I've been trying to figure out why the ECU isnt giving me a ground pulse to set off the ECU. 93LSCivic said he wired his directly like this and it worked flawlessly. I checked continuity with pin B13 on the EMS (coil #1) and thats fine.
What needs to be done to get the EMS to ground B13?
