Jacobs Mastermind install

KILLA5OH · 05-05-2002, 02:29 PM

Ok guys here it is. I installed the Mastermind and digital 6 today and well after all the damn wiring and drilling holes i tried starting the car and well it keeps cranking and does not turn over. But when i by-pass the mastermind and just run digital 6 it starts up. What am i missing? I followed the directions correctly. If it helps i did not install the nitrous kit just the mastermind and digital 6 but it should still start without the other mastermind wires not hooked to the sylonoids right>? PLease help its an 88GT EFI.

I'm not familiar with the wiring on the Jacobs stuff, but what I am familiar with is the horrible reputation for putting out junk that they have. I don't think I've ever seen a single post where their product was praised.

I personaly love the jacobs stuff, "They dont sell junk"....I would bet you have something hooked up wrong. All of the people that I know with the Jacobs Mastermind love it.

"Fordfaster" Has one in his car maybe you could P.M. or email him and find out whats up.

Good Luck,

Hey, seems to be a first time for everything, lol. Sure enough, call a product junk and you'll get anybody who has good luck responding. Best way to find out who it's worked for. haha.

It's obviously something you did, if it ran before you installed it right? retrace your steps.

Ok i called jacobs and tech support walked me through a bunch of step only to finally find out the unit i bought from summit was bad. How this happened i have no idea, but it turns out i have to send it back to jacobs for another one.
