ca18det into a 89 s13 injector problem

[javi-air]

i have no electrical current going to the injectors???? does anyone know which wire is the one for them??? or what could be the problem?? i have a 89 240sx and i put the ca18det,

What do yo mean which wire, each injector has a clip to supply power to them. IIRC there is 2 wires per injector clip. So what is your question?

yep it it two wires to each.

"I have no electrical current" doesnt really tell us much so your going to need to fill us in on what you mean.

i checked to see if power was going to the clips but its not???? i followed the sr wire diagram... does anyone know which wire is suppose to be connected to which from the engine bay harness???

Do you have an injector resistor? If you don't know what it is or what it looks like, then this may be your problem.

i dont think i have that?? i kinda know how they look but i dont see it??? where would it be??? and where can i get one??

Getting a stock one is tricky as they are starting to become a rarety. There should be a plug with I think like five pins in it that has nothing connected to it and that would be where it goes. Or you can use one off a 1g Mitsubishi Eclipse Turbo and rewire your car to accept it (Pretty easy).

yea i think i know witch one u talking about... thanks for the help....

[javi-air]

could i get it from a ka or anyother car???

Besides the DSM eclipse, the only other car that's a direct fit is a 1987 Nissan Pulsar SE.

IIRC didnt some late 80s early 90s honda's use them?

AMS sells brand new OEM replacements.

RX-7 dropping resistor works too, thats what I have in my car. Just rewire it as with the DSM guide.

It should be the 5 pins plug near the MAF sensor plug. (stock configuration)

[javi-air]

i cut the wires from the plug and connected them together and it started... it stays on and idles fine... i havent found a resistor thats why i did it... but now my rpms dont work???

i did the same thing like a year ago. it works fine as far as i see.... but that was the first ca

Necroposter! This thread is like 2 years old man.

im kinda new here. i have been reading most of the threads while i wait for my valvetrain parts to come in. didnt pay attention to the date. my apologies

And just so we're clear here, you CANNOT simply cut the plug off and twist all the wires together. That MAY work for a little while, but it WILL ruin your ECU&/injectors. You HAVE to have a dropping resistor in there.
