car: 01 gsr
engine: built gsr turbo
the car doesnt start, theres no spark or fuel pressure. the grounds are good. with the key in the on position, the radio works, but the dash lights dont work, nor does the vafc. any suggestions? my thought was that it was the ecu...could it be?

 

battery?

 

not the battery, the engine turns over..

 

It sounds like something electrical. Maybe your battery doesn't have enough juice at the moment to start.

 

check all your fuses, maybe some got wet.

 

fuse's check out ok

 

whens the last time cap n rotor were changed?

 

dont know, but it I dont think it matters seeing as how the car doesnt have power(VAFC and cluster), and how it doesnt have fuel pressure

 

it just seems to be like it would be in the distributor, if the plugs arent firing, unless theres just a loose connection somewhere going to the injectors/etc....ecu bad?

 

bad distributor wouldnt explain the no fuel pressure or the vafc not getting any power

 

have you checked your main relay?or try swapping ecu's

 

Someone already suggested the main relay, but have you also checked your ignition switch?

Sounds like it's closing the circuit for all the accessory things, like position I. But it's not closing the next circuit for the ignition stuff & dash lights.
