please help, im stuck in alabama!

[dwnshfter]

ok, long story short, i paid way too much for an rb20 and install trying to help a friend out......7 months later it's still not done. it has turned over, but no fire yet. the m62 plug didnt match up so he had to cut the stock harness we pulled from the car and splice 4 wires in to make it plug in. this motor and harness has been in 2 other 240's and had no problems. i am running a fuel cell and a vortec T-rex pump and summit filter so i know i have fuel. he says that the ecu isnt getting power, but i have no idea. i need my car to run by the first to drive my fiance to the airport, but he's to busy to come finish his work so i gotta try and do it on my own. any advice or know where i can take it to get it running?

Check to make sure the 2 green relays near the ecu are in. Maybe thats what ur missing.

[dwnshfter]

is that on the m62 (i hope thats what its called, he calls it that) or the ecu plug?

[Yellow4g63]

If you look at the ecu and follow the loom back you will see 2 green plugs. Those need 2 green relays or else the car won't run. If you have those then u have bigger problems.

[dwnshfter]

****....the 2 green box things, those are there, i know for sure. what else can i do? do you think he's just putting me off for now till i move? he knows i am moving soon and i think he is trying to buy it from me for cheap.....

[Yellow4g63]

Well it's a problem with the harness then. If you don't want to pay someone to fix it then you might want to read these and try to redo it. http://www.racebread.com/old/D...a.doch ... /D...a.doc

i just want the damn thing to run. i posted up in the regional forums looking for shops, if i can find one i'll go that route. thanks for the links, i will look at those in the morning. he said he thinks that he wired the m62 plug up backwards cause the diagrams he was looking at are for a rhd 240.......been 2 weeks and he hasnt been able to come and see if that was the problem..... thank you!

is this going into a s14 240 ?

[dwnshfter]

last step, ground the ecu, that might be the problem....god i hope so.....

[dwnshfter]

90 sohc, sorry, shoulda said that

[dwnshfter]

prolly tupid question, but how does the ecu ground?

[dwnshfter]

well i towed it to shift_garage in pensacola today......ill post up and tell you what all they had to do. they seemed REALLY knowledgable and the owner acts more like he wants to help get it going than cash my check.....all in all i was impressed!

[dwnshfter]

well they are making my ic piping and ordered a fmic and are finishing up the fuel system for me. there is a local exhaust shop there going to use to finish up that too. i only wish i had the money for a greddy intake now

[mott6904]

So did they fix the problem and if so what was it?
