Default injectors not firing

i pulled out my vitara'd d16 and put a stock y8 back in the car. it started and i drove it yesterday around the block. today i went to start it and it cranks, but wont turnover. i have spark, and i have fuel to the fuel rail. injectors are not firing. i've used a p2p ecu, and my p28 that was tuned for the turbo d. when i crank the car i hear a clicking noise comming from the passanger side under the dash but i cant figure out what it is.

Any one have any ideas? is there a sensor that tells the ecu to fire the injector? is there a relay for the injectors? any help would be great!

Default Re: injectors not firing

The injectors are fired by the ECU/ECM, [ground is supplied by the ECU/ECM] 12V+ is supplied by the PGM-FI Main Relay when ign. switch is in run and start.

Location of PGM-FI Main Relay depends on MM&Y of car, most are under the dash on drivers side just above hood release.

With a multimeter, [or ECU/ECM safe test light] you can check at the injectors, turn ign. switch to run and test for 12V+ at the injectors, [12V+ lead is the one that is the same color on all injectors]

If there is no power at the injectors the problem is the PGM-FI Main Relay, a blown fuse, wiring or a connection problem.

If there is power at the injectors the problem is the ECU/ECM, wiring or a connection problem.

To test for ground triggers at the injectors test the lead that is a differant color at each injector while engine is being cranked to start, again a multimeter or ECU/ECM safe test light is needed.

Problems with PGM-FI Main Relays in Honda/Acura are common, normally effecting fuel pump.

They can be repaired, in most cases, this will help... http://www.tegger.com/hondafaq/mainrelay.html 94
