I had to swap the car to five speed and i did all the wiring like the write ups on here said. I used a noid light on the injector plugs and there pulsing. When i look down in the cyinders i can tell its getting fuel. Each coilpack is firing. I had the wiring harness modded by tophat perf. it shoudl be correct. So i think something electrical is keeping the motor from cranking. There is a ground wire coming off the passngr side fuse that bolts at the bottom fusebx brckt and it and the middle two prong conector on the side of the fuse box get hot when im trying to start it. The 2 prong connector has a thicker white and black wire. I also sprayed starter fluid just a bit and it didnt do ****. Please help, some small electric bull**** is keeping me from driving.

yes it was auto before. It turns over only because i tapped into the wire thats hot when u turn the key over and ran it to the starter soleniod. Any ideas?

if the car was auto you need to jumper two wires together that go to the fuse box under the hood on the passenger side. i cant remember the exacto colors of the wires but i will go check my car and get back to you.

Also (don't know if this matter) but when i striped the interior i got rid of the sensors for the door "open or closed". I heard on s14 that the security system wont let the engine fire. I dont have the headlight assemblys hooked up either. I doubt this has anything to do with it but im at a loss. where do these two jumpered wires connect to the fuse box at?

Since i have fuel and spark shouldn't the car at least try to start? I'm thinking its a timing thing now. I just want to drive my damn car.
