Sr installed, and did run, but now it wont do anything... help!!!!!

[kickertu]

I just bought a 1990 hatch with an sr installed, and it DID run for about a month and a half.. now it wont do anything.. teh mods so far.blitz DD BOVWalbro fuel pump.stock side mount ick&n intakeoil pressure gauge

the battery is charged.. the windows, locks, and lights work like a champ. but thats about it.if i turn the key on and try to start it the tach goes nuts... it will just bounce from 0 to redline without the motor startingthe starter doesnt even click, there is no noise at allwe tried to push start it, and when we turn the key on we can hear the fuel pump, but when the car starts moving, we car hear the fuel pump turning on and off....

we have been looking for something wrong, and so far we cant really find a whole lot.. the relays seem to be cliking just fine, but we did notice that the engine grounding strap, (on the back of the block, it goes right to the firewall.) is broken. i twisted them back together to see if that would do it, and it still didnt help...

i took the harness off thinking it may be the harness.. cause the guy i bought it from said that there was a ground wire that fried, and when it went it took some other wires out with it... i looked and didnt see any wires that were even burnt....

what should i do?

What a weird problem..

Definatly sounds like a short or burnt ECU.. All i can say is hunt around your wire splices for now..

[Cattalbus]

sounds like a ECu problem to me the jumping tach leads me to belaive there is a short somewhere.

Here are pics of it..

I pulled the harness.. and everything llookks good.. i think im gonna send it to heavythrottle

[pampadori]

check your battery terminals. make sure they are tight.the ecu doesn't send a signal to the starter. the chassis harness does. shaun

[kickertu]

I called heavythrottle, and they were not the coolest guys in the world.. it seemed like i was wasing his time... he said that he wouldnt do the s13 harness anymore... so now im kinda screwed

it might be the altenator. when i bought my 240 a similar problem happened; but not the tach thing though. Thats weird ****.Chris

i had a similar problem in the max, but without the tach and my actually turned....it was a fried ECU---but never found what fried it.
