alright everything is getting power except for the injectors have gone through everything i know of and checked to see why. Have gotten an ohm meter and checked the injector plug and it isnt getting any reading at all from the plug at any time, i cant figure this out it is getting spark just changed the coil packs will start with starting fluid, but no fuel on top of cylinders, fuel pump is pumping like hell, just no injectors

Im not much of a S13/CA18DET ECU guy but I know my way around the wiring =). First off, if all 4 plugs arent getting any power, follow them back to the source. The way it goes is like this:

ECU -> Dropping Resistor -> Injectors.

Make sure your dropping resistor is plugged in and has power.

Usually, if you don't have a injector resistor, your injectors won't get any power. If you have an injector resistorm you screwed-up the wiring job or your ecu is done.

It's a small rectangular-shaped box that silver in color and have plug on the end of it. You can buy some from radio shack, but you got to know what you're doing in or der to pulll this off. I'm going to safely assum you don't have one. Don't you notice a plug on your harness that has nothing to connect to?

if you've got a stock airbox, it's attached directly to that, beneath the mafs, hope this helps, good luck.
