i just got done doing another swap.. everything went fine until i cranked it up.. it wouldn't start.. it gave me a code of 15.. for ignition output signal.. i changed ignitors.. didn't work.. took off the distributor and put it in my b16 and it worked fine... umm.. the motor stays on when the key is off... the helms manual told me to change the plug with the ground and ignition wires(2 wire plug to the distrib), i did that.. still nothing.. then they said to check the ecu(i did that already), and it works fine.. instead of that gay 7800 rpm rev limiter.. hehe.. but anyone got any ideas? i'm guessing a short somewhere in the wiring harness? please let me know.. thanks..

 

i guess that this tech area is no tech area.. i know someone in here had the same problem! help me out guys.. this crap is getting me annoyed.... oh.. up up up

 

Disconnect the two pin connector from the distributor. Turn the ignition on and measure the voltage between the black/yellow wire and and body ground. Do you read approx. battery voltage? (It comes from the ignition switch, so if not...trace the wire back that direction)

BTW..."the motor stays on when the key is off" would suggest you've got something majorly mucked up there in your wiring. Since I can't see your car from here, your guess would be as good as mine at this point.

 

it doesn't litterally stay on.. like you know the dash lights? wella they are on but they are dim... the car is still on cuz after i pull the key out the ecu still reads the code hehe.. well i'm just guessing sometihng with the wiring also... i was thinking bout a short also.. hmm.. thanks alot though.. late...

 

oh.. and like when i keep cranking it.. it like would stop cranking.. like the starter would get stuck or something.. then i would stop cranking and it wouldn't crank cuz it seemed like the starter like got stuck or something? any suggestions about that.?
