I've just finished converting my Aussie ST204 to Beams power using an ST202 SS-II clip, but I can't get the engine to start.
The engine turns over, but won't fire. We're pretty sure the problem is the fuel pump, as there is no fuel pressure. The relay on the ECU is operating, so the issue seems to be somewhere between there and the fuel pump. It was working fine with my old 5SFE just last week, so I'm sure it must be a wiring issue rather than an issue with the pump itself. There are issues with wiring to the new instrument cluster too. It's way off, with all to wrong lights coming on for the indicators and high beam etc. The dash lights don't work at all either. I'm not so worried about the dash issue at this stage, but thought I'd mention it on the off chance it could be connected with the non-starting issue. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. ![]() -------------------- |

Your wiring must be a mess. Check your wiring diagram and make sure everything is supposed to go where its supposed to go. U using the 5s harness or the 3s as a base?

The wiring is in pretty good shape, since I used the full engine and interior looms from the 3S donor clip. In theory, everything should just plug in and work like it did in the clip. The only wiring that is from my original 5S powered car is the door wiring (which plugged in and is working perfectly) and the wiring which runs to the back of the car, which is working fine for the lights and indicators but perhaps not for the fuel pump. At the moment I have no spark and no fuel pressure unless I run power directly to the pump. I hope that I'm checking the spark properly, as the setup is certainly a little different to engines with distributors and leads that I'm used to. -------------------- |
