I'm putting the finishing touches on my sr swap right now. My red top engine came with the harness cut and I'm finishied manually wiring every wire from the cut harness to the ECU plug. I can get her to crank, ignition, my stereo , lights, and everything work. When I turn over the engine I get no spark from the coils to the plugs. Also, it seems my injectors are not shooting gas. There is fuel into the rail, and the lines ARE ran correctly. I think my igniter chip is different from some of the people on this forum. Mine is bigger and has steel heathsync type stuff on it. Tell me what you guys think with the attached pic.The nissan part number of my chip is 22020-60U00... and I think the recommended part number is 22020-50F00. Also, my ECU (#62) is a Mine's. May this part be my problem?? I hope not.

:help and thanks in advance

Looks to me like you've got a CA18DET ignitor chip. I couldn't say with 100% certainty, but it definitely looks like it.

Well i thought so too. On the instructions the guy sent me it said Ca18det and sr20det wiring, so I dunno. Anyone know if it could work right or what?

Try searching on FA (freshalloy) I recall there being a post which had a wiring diagram in order to use the CA ignitor chip on the SR.

Yeah. I checked the wiring diagrams off of the FA forums and its the same as mine... that's how mine's wired and... no spark. Same chip too... so I guess that part is supposed to work. Now does anyone know how to tell where my problem lies? Is my ECU pooched? Shouldn't be... I want her to run but she hates me right now, someone help us make a beautiful thing work...
