So here's the deal...

I installed an HKS turbo time (type 1) in my 1990 240SX and about 6 months ago the car wouldnt turn on or even crank over. I found out that the turbo timer and blown my ignition fuse so I replaced the fuse and had no problems.

Two days ago, the same thing happened. My car's accessories all work, but the car will not start or crank over. I'm positive I checked all my fuses and the relay that runs off the ignition was replaced with no improvement. I am at a total loss. I have completely uninstalled my turbo time and do not plan on reinstalling it. I just want my car to run.

Please, somebody throw me some ideas I need my car running as its my only way to work and school.

Thank you, and please no smarta$$ remarks...

is your ground wire well secured?

battery good?

does your ecu have power?

can you check codes?

does the starter crank?

does the starter click?

does the starter do anything?

Everything works (accessory, seat belt motor, etc) but when I push in my clutch and turn the key to start the car nothing happens. The engine doesnt even turn over. Like I said, this has happened before and it was my ignition fuse because the turbo timer blew it. But this time I dont know what it is and I am just about 100% sure its not the starter...
