Well I finally decided to work on my car today. I started by going through thhe wiring harness, but I didn't get far. I decided to check the fuses and relays and I just happen to find one relay blown. I hope this will fix my problem. Its a brown relay, FL 25A and its says ENG CONT on the fuse box in the engine bay. I really want to get this head swap running again. So does wny one have an answer. Could this have caused my no spark issue?

I guess no one knows, I went ahead and bought the fuse link. Now I just got to get my battery charged and then I guess I'll know for sure.

I'll know saturday night if its the problem or not. I hope it is, because then I'll have all winter to tune it and hopefully get around to make ITB's for it.

If that fuse link doesn't work also check the ignition control module - I've had two go out on me also maybe the crank angle sensor. (had that go out on me too) both which will stop spark dead

ITB's eh? If I could afford the tuning pieces I'd go for it, but I'm going to go supercharged. Not a massive amount of boost, probably just 7-8 pounds; so as not to turn my internals into liquid s**t.

well the fuse link didnt change anything. Looks like I have to check the ignition control module and then the crank angle sensor.

I need a question answerend asap. I was reading this thread and someone said that to check if both the ecu lights come on when the key is in the on position. Since the guy who started the thread didnt have spark either I decided to check this and neither of mine lit up. The only time the did is when I turned the key off and it was a quick flash. So does anyone know what this means?
