Hey guys i need help bad i don't know what to doo ive been looking everywere and need some advice, Bassically the car wont start there's no lights coming on the ecu, its a straight gas research vl turbo, Ive put a whole new engine loom to see if that fixes it but nothing! even got a new alternator haha... it turns over just wont start, is there a fuse or anything for the computer?? ive tried different ecu's but nothing ive used a test light and none of the pins have power only one orange wire going to it.. Any help would be great before i sell the damn thing! Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Try the fuse links next to battery and the efi relay in the fuse box , also the reverse polarity relay also next to battery

what are fuse links? are they the plugs next to the row of relays next to the fuse box? sorry if i sound stupid.

have you looked at the pink wire up under the dash at the ecu to fusebox plug. you say youve changed the engine wiring loom there are 2 types and if the differnt type is used to what was orig in it you need to join thw two pink wires on the loo m side of the plug. there is threads on here about it. i had this problem when i changed looms a few years ago.

yeah i used to have the 2 pink wires joined now its back to the original loom with only the 1 pink wire checked that Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

The fuse links look like a wire loop der about 4 inch from the positive terminal on the battery

cheers thanks il try and find them tomorrow, lucky i have a day off

http://65.98.23.226/~calais/showthread.php?t=176320 About one 3rd down there is a picture of the battery terminal and in the backround is a green plug with a redish wire loop that should be the fusible link that's giving you grief

Yus Thanks Ant man i know that plug i didnt know what it was for though!, would i need a new plug from the wreckers or just bypass it?

One from wreckers would be better as it's a fuse and needs to be able to melt in event of a short in the loom .. How ever if you know or can find out the rating of the fuse link you could probably by-pass it with an in-line fuse of the same rating

Your a bloody legend man thanks alot!! Replaced that stupid green plug and it started!! Cant believe it was something soo simple like that, lucky i found the last one at pick a part haha ! Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

No problems dude glad to help out
