Did the DOHC-SOHC swap over the weekend. Go to start it and nothing...no fuel...Fuel pump was bad....Got a new fuel pump and gas problem fixed.... Turn the key and it fires up...runs for abotu 4seconds and then dies.... Go to start again and battery is dead....Swap battery's with a brand new one that is bigger(made for a 240 though)As numnuttz is tightening the positive he had another wrench on the battery...it was touching the ground.... He hit it and sparks flew.....All the gauges headlights turn signals work....Car cranks but wouldn't start... Replaced the coil and ignitor with the one out of my vert and still nothing...Used a test light and didn't get any power from the plugs going to the coil...Any body have ideas??? Checked the fuses by the battery and even swapped them out...still nothing... I thought there was one by the ecu but didn't find it.....is that s14 only???Thanx for your help... I'm tired of working hard getting things done right and then someone screwing it up...

your bud may have fried the ecu if all the other fuses/ fusible links are ok...

I have no idea what the problem is now... Going to get some other wiring tomorrow... from another 240...has to be something to do with the relay box... because everyhting else checks out good.. But I checked with my multimeter and relay box seems to be working correctly....
