:help Nice to hear that you're making progress with your CA. I have a question for you about wiring. Did you have to wire in an ignition coil relay? If you could give me any ideas on how your harness is wired up to the relay box, i think it would help me a lot. My problem to begin with was that when i first tried to start my engine I had no spark nor were the injectors working. I'm wiring in an ignition coil relay. I can hear the injectors clicking now when i spin the CAS, but still no spark. Any help is better than none. If you have an idea please let me know. Thanks.

Thanks. Somebody really needs to do a write-up on a complete KA to CA swap. If I can figure out this wiring problem I'll break out my digicam and write one up myself.

Ack. That diagram isn't working for me. In fact unless I connect the brown wire on the E10/F10 plug my injectors don't work. I guess you guys had SOHC engines before you swapped in the CA? I need to find an fsm for the DOHC s13. This car is making me sick. But I can't stop now.

I still haven't figured it out. I did an ECU code check and I got code 21--Ignition signal missing in primary coil--I know its probably something simple, that will make me want to kick myself when I figure it out. Ideas anyone?
