The car is a 1997 KAT. We are using an Enthalpy ECU with 650cc, Z32 MAF, TD06-20G, etc etc.

I can see the fuel spraying into the cylinder when I take a spark plug out and shine a flashlight down in there and I can remove a spark plug wire and ground it out and see it arc. I've got the fuel pressure set to about 40psi on startup.

Today I converted it to a S13 dizzy with a blaster coil. I followed the wiring instructions per JWTs website.

When I installed the Mitsu. injector resistor pack I accidently cut the wrong red/black wire. I untaped the whole harness and removed it through the firewall. I found the right wires to splice the resistor pack into.

There are 2 red/black wires (they look exactly like the ones coming from the injectors as far as size and color), one comes from the coil plug and the other from the resistor that is covered in tape and mounted on the front of the engine.

There is a single thick red/black wire coming out of the ECM harness which I assume goes to the white wire on the injector pack.

The 2 other red/black wires coming from the coil plug and the resistor plug I am unsure of where they get connected to. I know they connect somewhere down by the ECU.

There is a 20 pin or so plug - it has a gray pivoting locking mechanism on it - down by the ECU. That plug also has a cut think red/black wire coming out of it. That wire is showing 12.5V when the key is on.

Sorry for the long post I may need to get some pics up to show everyone what I mean.

I am just confused as to why it wouldn't start when its getting spark and fuel.

Maybe if someone had a S14 wiring diagram. I searched and could only find one for a S13.....

Thanks. Any info would be greatly appreciated
