so as most of you probably know, i've been spending a lot of time getting my "new" vert on the road. well, everything is installed to drive it around on the road, however, she won't start.

i have power but i have no spark and no fuel. the starter works and turns the motor, the lights all work, however, it seems as though the ecu is not getting power or something... i cannot hear the fuel pump nor am i getting spark out of the coil. the coil was not bad as we tossed it on zach's widebody last night and it worked fine. put it back on the vert and there's nothing.

i don't know if there's something that got missed when the 5-speed swap was done or what, but i "think" everything is plugged in. i did not get a chance to test/inspect/swap fusable links, so i'm going to do that tonight.

I WANT TO DRIVE IT!!!

thanks in advance.

any ideas?

Double check your grounds.

Also make sure the big grey and brown plugs that your EFI harness plugs into at the chassis (next to the fusebox in the fender) are plugged in good and tight. Those plugs supply power to your coil, fuel pump, and ECU.

i would check all the wires on the car to make sure everything is running. Good luck! Hopefully you get that vert on the road!
