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.

I fixed the short, so no more blown fuses or dash warning lights staying on. The door wires seem to be fine, as power windows and central locking etc is working fine.
Still no start though, so I decided to bite the bullet and accepted defeat. I called a mobile auto electrician and he is coming to check out the car early next week. I really wanted to fix this myself, but I think it's time to let the professionals take over! Thanks to everyone for your help and suggestions. -------------------- |
