96 challenger. I've checked the stator and trigger coil. Both test fine and trigger coil is not broken. Getting 2 beeps with lanyard attached. Getting .5 volts ac to the coil. Checked coil and secondary side was open so i replaced it. Still no spark. All fuses and grounds good. Good battery. I'm going to set this thing on fire if someone doesn't help me soon.

Depends on how fast you get it to spin past. The faster it goes, the higher the voltage.
Are you getting a pulse to the coil?
When I had to troubleshoot this problem, I placed an LED on the coil trigger, and when I cranked I could see the LED blinking, which meant to me the coil was receiving the signal to fire, thus the coil was toast. Replaced the sealed coil, and all was well again.
Good Luck.

Yes... 2 beeps means the MPEM is electronically functioning.
Same box as the MPEM and coil.

Ummmmm.......... should be a fuse block. Can you post a pic?
The CDI is in the gray box. Not much in there... just look.

well in the rear electrical box there is a black board with some fuses and wires coming out. the starter relay. something mounted under the starter relay, not sure what it is but doesnt look to be a cdi box. im use to quads and dirt bikes so this boat is kind of throwing me off. dealer is telling me that the mpem and cdi is one unit??? as far as under the hood in front of the steering wheel, it is a small rectangular board with fuses, a large plug and a small 2 wire plug coming out of it. either way this is starting to look like a good deal on the boat going really bad. the dealer quoted me over $800 to replace just the cdi, god only knows about the mpem. thanks again.

Search ebay for seadoo challenger cdi. According to the parts fiche, you need part # 278000858
You might want to check with Minnetonka4me, a member here, I've ordered some parts from him and he may save you a few bucks.
The part under the starter relay is the rectifier. I was in my box yesterday checking everything over, and I think the cdi is under the mpem. (Not sure, but take a look.)
