i have an rb20det swapped into a 1992 toyota cressida.I have been workin on it since august its almost done all thats left is shorten the drive shaft and fab up a downpipe that will be a pain in my balls lol.Any how when i start it cold i have to pump the pedal and wait about a half a miute or longer to get it to start.once it runs and warms up it starts almost right up when i shut it down and restart. now the way the car is setup is its running off a 240sx relay box and the toyota harness is uncut .i did a lil research and am thinking its because i dont have a start signal goin to the ecu? ive searched a lil on it but dont quite get it no real clear write up on it and i dont wana f@#k up and fry my ecu.i was wondering on how to get a signal to it I have had to many cross my fingers situations with the car and dont want another.also i gapped my plugs to 1.1 but i also read people putting them at 0.8 what would be the best for a near stock rb20det? anyways any help would be great thanks

Run a wire from starter solonoid circuit to pin 43 on ECU. That should do it.

okay man here ya go sorry it took me so damn long just kinda slips my mind plus my car is a garage a couple towns away.well here ya go the first pic is just going to be a red wire with a white spliced into it.the red wire is the wire that goes from the push start to the starter.i just spliced the white one into it to pinout 43 that is a yellow with a blue stripe in it.so when u give it the start signal it also gives the ecu a signal to start with well here are the pics and any ques just lemme know good luck
