Whats up everyone?

I really need help. My cadet wont start. It's the ignition. Cranks with no plug

fire. What would be the best way to go about wiring up my coil packs to a

distributor type chassis? I want to use the original coils to start for the first

time, if the coils do work...

#1 of 6

#2 of 6From the car fuse box. (92' 240sx)

#3 of 6The male end, ignition wires. (From original S13 chassis harness)

#4 of 6This is the plug with the Ignition wires going to it. (CA18DET female harness)

#5 of 6Traced from coil packs by engine harness.

#6 of 6The Blue/Red wire was traced from here. The ignitor chip was grounded for the attempt to start.

It's tied in with the ECU relay. Did you not follow the wiring laid out in the stickies? It's the same as wiring up an SR.

oh really? The main thing is, I don't have the KA harness. So could I hard wire it? what goes where?
