There should be three things that go to your batt +. The main cable from + to starter. A white wire from + to alternator. A white wire from + fuse box to power everything else.

So you have a sohc car, dohc s13 harness, s14 ka? Are you on a s13 igniter and coil setup? Do you have power to the coil when the key is on? What ecu are you using? Do you have any codes?

Get your multi meter out and see what's going on. If it doesn't have 12 v with key on then start with diagnosing that.
