Did you get the obd-0 to obd-1 distributor harness conversion?

Make sure there is continuity in the wires. Resolder the connections. Replace the cap and rotor.

did you ground all the yellow wires from the injectors when you switched to obd-1 i had the same problem mine would crank and i had spark but no gas! so i go into the harness and found the ground wires from the old dual point injectors and grounded them and my car started right up....so maybe you should check that out i was pissed cus i forgot about those two freaking wires within the harness hope that helps

So you pinned on OBD1 plugs? or you're actually trying to run a OBD0 Distributor (which will never work)... clarify that for me

True, I'm still pre obd on my z6.

When I did the swap and wasn't getting any spark, it turned out that the set screw on the rotor came out in the dizzy. If the dizzy is all bolted up to the motor, you have the cap off, and can turn the rotor, your missing the screw. No rotor spinning, no spark. Hope this helps you. Good luck with your swap.

When I did my d15b swap, and all I was doing was turning and no crank. It was the ignitor.

Ok, so you have the obd1 dizzy and injectors. What about the ecu? Are you still using the pm6? Try a obd0-obd1 jumper and a p28.
