I started swapping this car over the summer, then it sat for 6 months waiting on me/Tyler to get around to doing up the wiring harness, now it neither gets spark, nor fuel, but just turns over.

Guess it'll sit for another 6 months.

Any ideas?

that helps.... hmm get it running, I never thought of that, you're a genius. But seriously, I'm starting to think it would make a great bonfire.

well, wiring is a bitch. get a light and follow every wire, check everything. dont know what your expecting to hear. kinda obvious what you need to do. if you ever give up let me know, i know someone who will buy it.

only problem is there's too much money in the car to sell it not running.

guess what I'm wanting to hear is, where to start, I'd rather start somewhere obvious. Is there any one thing that keeps your fuel pump from running AND keeps you from getting spark?

keep in mind I only tried it once, in the dark, did not check fuses or anything, it was cold, and we all just went inside after attempting it.

Im really leaning towards some ground on the harness, or the actual ECU. If I get a chance Ill run an ECU, fuel pump, and coil over there today

Who did your harness? Find out what was done to the harness and how twist and tape? Solder and heatshrink? I got some similar issues on a swap, so I'll be following this close.
Good luck.

Tyler at Killswitch did the harness, but its pretty much a dohc harness with just 4 wires changed at the little plug after the ECU, so its a little hard to mess up, especially if you've done a lot of them.

We put it in at night on friday in the dark, so like Wes said, we probably left something off.

Wes, I'll give you a call when I get home, if you wanna come by, that's great.
