Ive swapped my ca from one of my cars to the other i guess through the process one of the wires has been pulled out of the ecu, it's the thick blue and red wire that controls the spark for 2 of the cylinders i believe because im having a missfire on 2 of them. Does anybody know what pin that would be on the ecu?

believe it or not, the ignition related wires are pins 1,2,3, and 11
it appears the red/blue wire is for pin 11, which is cylinder 4... cylinder 2 should be pin 2, which is red/yellow

it's all in the manual, but it's hard to read

i guess i wasnt very clear and looking at the ecu pinout diagrams i cant find any blue wires being labeled coming out of the ecu which is very strange, the code is bl correct?

will be taking pictures later when i get home to hopefully clarify which wire i am talking about

this thick blue and red wire is the one im talking about, you have to splice it into the gray plug on your chassis harness. If anyone could just look at theyre ecu and tell me what pin it is that would be nice. Ive looked through the diagrams and not found it.

Hacked harnesses make me sad :(

We carefully disassembled the harness connectors and swapped wires around so that my CA harness would mate to the stock 89 240SX body harness, etc. Will do so again when I swap it into the 91.
