Please help a noob!

first things first, I have tried the search function but I am turning up few results

you guy's have got to help me out a little bit here please! I am completely lost on this car. as you can probably tell by my username my background is honda's but please don't hate me for that. I am trying to change my ways but I think I am way over my head here. The car is a 1989 240sx I picked up from a kid that tried to do a swap and made a mess of it, now I am going to try to finish it.

as near as I can tell this thing is a total mutt, with alot of mixed up parts...

1989 240sxlooks like an early grey top sr20de (no turbo)has a turbo wiring harness with a cam sensor and coil packsused power FC ECU with controller

I've converted the car from an auto to a manual already, swapped the distributor for the cam sensor and now I am trying to get this thing to run, but right now I can only get spark at one coil pack. Is this a lost cause?

I dunno if it is the Power FC that is screwing me here, or if I am using the wrong harness and need to go back to the non-turbo harness...PLEASE if someone can post me some links to do some research it would really help alot...I need some wiring diagrams and some info on the Power FC since the only thing on Apexi's website is for a friggin civic (go figure)

thanks again guy's and sorry for the long post

damn dude... grey top?? wtf .... never heard...... then agian ive never heard of a sr20de in a 240 either withought the turbo..ehh **** man sorry im of no help but hopefully this bump will guide some1 to ya .. good luck bro

if you've got just a stock ecu..use that and take out the power fc. It's not necessary right now. If you have converted to coilpacks..then the sr20det harness should work ok because none of the sensors are directly hooked to the turbo..so you shouldn't have a problem.

I got an ecu with this car, it has a bunch of writing on it, says sr20de, but I get no spark with that ECU, I think I have a serious issue in the wiring, nobody has any links or wiring diagrams for this?

Merry late Christmas http://www.camel-towing.com/ That has the fsm's for the sr20de and sr20det. In those fsm's are all the wiring diagrams for every part of the car. Those should help you out a lot.

Also, its possible you may have some bad coilpacks or a bad ignitor. If you know anyone else who has an sr20, see if you can swap in their ignitor just to check.
