Hi, i just dropped my sr in today and i went to start it up and it turns over fine and i have spark but no fuel and no power inside the car. There are only two lights in the interior that work, they are the oil and battery light in the dash. i have checked the wiring briefly and the relays and fuses and everything seems fine. What could this be? i tried searching but nobody has the exact same problem. Thanks

I had a similar problem, check the SMJ (super multiple junctioner). Make sure that it is bolted down securely. It is located under the left hand side of the dash, tucked back by the fuse panel. On the s13 it is white, I don't know about other models. Every circuit that goes through the interior of the car, with the exception of the oil and battery lights go through that little junction box. If that isn't it check the fusible links.

The fusible links are in the engine bay, near the battery. They look like fuses, just a little squarer. If they are open you can tell just by looking at the top of them. Word to the wise, if you find one open, check all of your circuits for shorts as they are fairly high current ratings, ESPECIALLY IF YOU POP ONE AFTER REPLACING IT. As far as the SMJ, I had that problem and I never touched it, I guess that I may have bumped it or it may not have been torqued back down after my alarm was installed. It tool ,e forever to figure that one out and it was only after I looked for something that was common to everything. Some things may work even if it is loose, my front turn signals worked fine. When I get a chance I will look at my FSM for you, and see if there is a relay or something as well.

If you don't have fuel, check the wiring that you had to change by the battery box. And as for the dash stuff, check the ecu wiring that you had to change.

thanks for the link, im going to have to check some of this stuff. I just have anothe question, on the ignitor plate there are two little objects that look like solenoids, i figured out that one of them needs to be dissconnected but the other i dont know what it is, i has a black round knob on the top and a vac line on the bottom, what do i do with this? dissconnect it?thanks

I was just wondering if my main problem with the fuel and the no power in the interior could be because of the ground wire on the back of the block that goes to the firewall? because i grounded the battery to the engine and i figured the engine wouldn't be grounded if thats not hooked up, would that explain anything? pretty stupid, i know..

Just get a test light or multimeter, and check all your connections, if you have no fuel, test where you connected your fuel pump relay and all, prob just some simple connection. Just double check everything,good luck
