Any CELs?

 

the check engine light comes on but no codes on the computer if we jump the starter it makes the fuel pump come on.

 

sometimes aftertrying to turn it on the light on the ecu will stay on

 

would this mean that somewhere the wiring is messed up sense its making other stuff come on?

 

help

 

who did all the wiring? what wiring did you do in it? did you check the starter fuse in the fuse box or any of the other fuses. when i did my swap i blew the starter fuse under the dash. you might wanna check that out.

 

yes ive checked all fuses twice one by one i did the wiring exactly how all the dpfi to mpfi swap write ups that r on here thats why i dont understand how it could be so messed up

 

oh and the radio and lights and hazards work but the car doesnt even attempt to crank

 

there is a little plug that goes into the starter. its flat, make sure its conected

 

yup checked it its like a ground definetly connected

 

does anybody do dpfi to mpfi swaps in the bakersfield, california area i live in wasco 93280 i need help bad

so hold on... did you ground that terminal??? if you grounded it i beleave thats your problem. there is a wire from the ignition that runs to that.

 

check wires c1 and c2, actually double check all your new wires. so c1 and c2, then injector wirring a3 and a7. i got mine crossed a week ago when i did my swap. it happened when i ran them to the engine bay. Also check your solder connections. The two white wires on the distributor could be crossed.

 

check your main fuse, for your battery and i think under the dash their is a fuse just for the starter.

 

no i didnt ground it i put it on the starter where it goes. i even tried giving the starter direct current from the battery and it wont do anything

 

im just ganna pull all the wires out and redo the mpfi swap

 

take the starter to autozone, pepboys, etc and have it tested.
free of charge

 

yea im sure the starter works
