More CA wiring headaches.

Yes, I have searched and cannot find exactly what I am looking for.

I bought a new harness from jt on Saturday. It was wired for an S14, but I figured that I could fix it easily.

The only part of the harness that concerned me was where it connected to the main engine bay harness. The S14 wiring had it hook up to 2 grey plugs next to the relay box. I knew from other harnesses that I required the brown plug that is next to those 2. I clipped off the 8 pin grey and spliced the 8 pin brown in. This has connections for: ECCS Relay, PAIRC Solenoid Valve, IACV- Air Regulator, IACV-AAC Valve, 4th Gear Position, 5th Gear Position, Neutral, and Fuel Pump.

The wires for the ECCS, Fuel Pump, IACV, Air Regulator, and Neutral Switch pair up fine. However, there were 3 wires that baffled me from the s14 plug. A purple, purple and black, and a grey (or really dirty white).

Ever since I tried this, my ECU's LED's are constantly lit, red and green. It will not go to diagnostic mode. I am afraid it fried. This was the Mine's.

I now have a stock ECU and a Nistune ECU, so I have more, but I definitely can't afford to have this issue again.

Go figure, something I thought would be easy is a pain. I will do more wire tracing tonight, but for now I would like a guesstimate on any issue I may be overlooking.

do you have a picture of your probs? i've dissected a spare CA wiring and use it for reference and maybe i can help you trace wires.

those Mine's tuned ECUs are known to come pre-powned. It wouldnt be suprized if it was already cooked before you got it.

My previous car ran great on the Mine's. I also have a stock CA ECU and one with Nistune. The swapped out for the stock one and it yeilded the same results.

I am aware of the Mine's issues, so I bought the Nistune one to replace it because I feel it will eventually die.
