SO I just replaced the battery with an old battery that I had before in a different car, well without checking I was a moron and reversed the terminals... I tried starting it with the terminals switched and quickly realized I had made a careless mistake, I checked all fuses and there was a fusible link and the 100amp engine fuse I believe blown. I replaced them and bought a completely new battery and when I went to start the car now it just cranked... I heard rumor of the CAS going bad quickly so I replaced that, still nothing, just cranking... I don't believe it's the ECU because when I turn the key to the "on" position all my dash lights come on, radio works, head lights work, a/c works. I tested the current at the coil pack harness with an ohm meter and it read out at like 1.2 on the positive pin, .4 or something on the pulse and all of my grounds are good. I've run through all the fuses in the engine bay and under the dash and all are good. What am I missing here guys? My mechanic said to run through all the fuses again because one of them must be blown somewhere. Anyone have any ideas at all? Any help would be great. (also I have searched around through the forums and really haven't come up with any answers for my situation)

Ok guys so here's the deal; I just recently purchased and 1996 240sx with a Redtop Sr20det swapped into it. The guy who sold it to me said it was an s14 redtop, but the ECU says S13 redtop on it... He wasn't much of a techy though and the guy who owned it before him was the one who had done the swap and he was a mechanic. Anyways, he showed me the car and started it right up with a battery jump and it ran very nicely. Well once I got it home I went to jump the battery again and smoke started coming from the top of the jumper leads SO I just replaced the battery with an old battery that I had before in a different car, well without checking I was a moron and reversed the terminals...

Re: Help with my car!
I'm dumb on SRs, but there was never an S14 Redtop, so something ain't right.
May have more luck in the SR engine section as well:

I believe it... Yeah I just realized I may have put it in the wrong section. Thanks Biggie!
