So ive installed my ca18det into my 89 hatch and I'm getting spark to all plugs, getting fuel but no pulse to my injectors so they are not firing. Any ideas of maybe something I wired wrong or plug not plugged in? I'm striking out on ideas of what it could be.

Is the dropping resisitor plugged in? Or do you even have it at all? Cause this could be your problem.

ok so I looked into it and didnt see a drop resistor in the car. Where can I buy one and would there have been one for the old ka motor/ where is it mounted in stock form?

The KA does not have one since it has high impedence injectors. You can get one from cars with low impedence injectors. Alot of people use a DSM or honda resistor box. Or you can get a new nissan unit for $60-$70.
