make sure the fuel lines are correct, and check the cas.

make sure your getting spark and that the injectors are firing.

make sure you have the green relays in on your harness near the ecu or it won't start at all.

The first thing is to make sure you get spark....

you gotta go through all that wiring to make sure that you are getting signal to the igniter.

I disagree ;)

The first thing to do is listen for your fuel pump running and see if you can hear your ECU relay click when the key is turned to ignition. If those two don't happen, then there's no sense wasting time trying to figure out spark!

But then, yeah, spark, fuel, air.

KA lower will not effect spark

Check the igniter on the back of the coil cover to see if its plugged in right

there is also a smaller plug under the igniter that needs to be plugged also if its anything like the RB25
