So I Fried 2 ECU's After installing my SR. The harness was hacked to s*** thus exposed wires caused the ECU's to suicide themselves. I went back through the harness, taped/ Soldered some loose ends and stuff together. I'm gonna get a New harness by the looks of it anyways. What the car is and was doing was, it turned over but was just barely idleing. When I try to start the car now, it wont turn over and the Tach jumps like crazy. I've replaced a few fuse's with no luck. I'm going to try the ignitor chip and see what happens there. The next plan is to buy a new harness and do away with that abortion that I recieved recently. I can post video and stuff as well but I'm not sure it would help. I baught the new ECU from someone who said it worked, I checked the bored over and didnt see any burns or burnt odor. I'm lost as of now and was wondering if anyone has any ideas.
Thanks.

your battery is low! i used to get that as well when i'd barely have enough juice to power the engine on. charge your battery and post back up. You might also have a drain somewhere.

I found the issue. Was the cam angle sensor lol. I spaced it when I put it in i didnt re-align the pins and go TDC with the motor. Thanks anyways!

It's amazing how many times this happens.
