REYN,
It wouldn't surprise me. If you have bypassed the switch and wired the battery directly to the module and have a battery for example a 1400 mah that has enough output to fire the module than I would say you are correct. If you are running a Lipo or Lion and are going through a regulator I would try connecting a 4 cell pack to the module and try that. If that doesn't work call DA monday and talk to them. They will probably have you box it up and send it to them. My engine was new in January. I installed it on my plane and had trouble with the engine quitting. I thought it was the carb or the plumbing. I made an engine stand so I could check everything out without bending over and kneeling on the cold ground or floor. When checking, the engine would run for maybe a minute and quit. By the time I could check the spark like you did the spark would be there again (*&%$*). Any way I finally caught it not firing and called them. They made me send in the whole engine. Just 2 days ago I sent in the new ignition module. On ground range checks with the engine running my PCM receiver would go into failsafe while the engine was running. After checking everthing out I couldn't find anything wrong with the receiver or any connections or metal to metal vibrations etc. I put a PPM receiver in the plane and I couldn't even move away from the plane zero feet and all the control surfaces went nuts. I borrowed a ignition module from a friend and installed it and everything returned to normal. As far as I'm concerned I think their modules are a weak link. It seems to me that all the manufacturers are a little weak in this area.... Bill
