Hey all. I bought an EJ with a partial swap (B18b with GSR trans) a month ago or so and finished up the harness about a week ago now. I expected issues, but this hunt is driving me crazy.
Let me preface by saying I have no prior experience with these cars, so bare with me if its a simple oversight.
Upon finishing the harness work and turning the key the engine cranks healthily, but won’t start. I have the tank out of it so it’s being fed fuel by a funnel and hose, but I’m not getting any spark across all 4 cylinders. Brand new plugs (gapped) and the wires are good. I probed all of the inputs for the distributor (OBD1) and they all get voltage. I pulled the dizzy apart and checked resistance across the sensors (cyp, ckp, and tdc) and they’re all good, as well as the ICM. The dizzy has a new ignition coil and cap and the rotor seems fine. I have the clutch sensor jumped so the lockout shouldn’t engage. I also checked the under-hood fuse panel and 40a ignition fuse both of which are fine.
I’m going to start by asking if it could be the PGM FI Relay (fuel relay). The car doesn’t have one in it currently, but I don’t know if and wouldn’t think it has anything to do with the signal for ignition.
Does anything else come to mind?
Thanks in advance.
