Hello everyone, this is kind of a technical problem...make a long story short as possible, ok... been working on swap since last november 07, got finished around april/may. Skipped from day one, tried everything in my power, gm coil, plugs (3 or 4 sets), ect!... pretty much gave up. I found an ex nissan electrical engineer locally (luck) and he started tracing every thing and checking. Found that the upper/front injector harness is not getting proper voltage, ie. dont know exact #s but the back harness (4,5,6) at idle are getting like 6v the front (1,2,3) are getting .7v. so he took some tool like a test light (more technical tho) and some how could give it more voltage. the most he could give it was like 4.8 volts and it got 100 times better and smoother just at idle. Well he was suppose to fix it and i can not get in touch, so my question is now that i know my problem how can i fix it? or should i just try to find one someone is parting out? (whole new harness)I relacotated the battery, he said that day that some harness may not be hooked up or whatever, idk so mabey someone can help tho.Oh and btw, wiring speciatles did my harness, i did not. I did not want to have this problem, but i guess I do anyways, lol figuresCar:was a 1990 sohcRb20det440cc injectorst3/t4 60 trim turbotophat manifoldsafcaem tru boost

you're gonna have to go thru the harness bit by bit...no other way.i had a WS harness in for repair a few weeks ago and it took 8hrs just to go thru and unloom the entire harness and remove incorrect splices and run the proper wiring.
