My buddy has a 91 Nissan s13. Came with a DOHC that we've pulled. Here's some info that will maybe help you help us!

Automatic Ca18 with a 5 speed swap,Auto Ca Harness with a KA lower harnessWe have fuel (I installed a walbro 255)We DONT have spark to the coilpacksThe CAS does have power going to it, So it is working.It Cranks over just doesn't start.

We even went as far as Trying all the parts in my other buddies ca swapped hatch, And his engine still starts fine, (We swapped ECU's, CAS's, Coil packs, etc)

We checked the plug on the Harness side for power, and we dont have any power going to the coilpacks... So we hardwired the coilpacks with a wire from the battery to the power wire of the coilpacks... and still nothing... So we're really stumped . We've tried 2 different harnesses, And still nothing... Any ideas?

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys!

Swap ignitors? Q45 is the same as CA. Worth a shot. G/L
