I posted up a little while ago the issues I had with my lower trans harness not causing my starter to engage because of my 5 speed swap. So now I found my issues with the park neutral switch and now it cranks perfectly but my ECU isn't providing the ground circuit for any of the outputs i.e. relays, injectors, coilpacks. Has anyone had this problem? I have a Tomei #62 ECU. I don't have it mounted in the stock location (its laying on the carpet) and I'm not sure I have the block grounded to chassis. Can these cause the ECU to not provide a ground circuit? I appreciate everyones input!

im having a very similar problem with my ka24de swap my harnesses were very damaged, i replaced the upper engine harness and came to the same lower harness coclusion. relays are being jumped with speaker wire to get power to the distributor, i am missing i believe 2 transmission sensors one being the neutral switch. pretty sure its the lower harness but people are telling me it "might" be the ecu. i doubt its a coicidence

The tomei harness that came with the swap was actually a spare sitting in the passengers seat of the car so I have no history of it (shady). The engine harness is brand new from nissan and when I jump the fuel pump relay for example I can hear it prime. But since its not grounding any outputs through the ecu I get no spark or pulse width from the injectors.

Is your car cranking but you get no spark or fuel?
