Coil drivers on a megasquirt? what coilpacks are you using and what ignition dwell etc. are you using?

Surely moving to a direct driven coil would be a better idea? It's what I'm doing with mine, using the LS type coils.

I need a new one as mine looks like its blown a circuit on the main chip. I have borrowed one for now just to keep me going. (short term)

Sounds to me like you need to identify and fix the cause before you toast another.

What drivers are you using, have you upgraded to BIP 373 the original VB921 has a habit of burning out.

If you have managed to kill a bip 373 you have something massively wrong in the settings.
