Another question.
i been looking for an ecu to buy. even if that isnt my problem it could be nice with an spare one in the garage.
i wonder if the 89661-17322 and 89661-17321 are the same?
as i read the 21 got replaced by the 22. during dates of production.

You have checked for power to coil and ignitor with ignition on?

On some conversions you have to cut and shut black/red wires to power coil and ignitor in engine compartment fuse box.

Suggested that one Peter, he has power at both coil and ignitor.

If everything wiring related checks out and the coilpack/ignitor is well grounded you must have a component issue.

Diagnosing this is difficult via the internet, but as a start, hook an LED light up to both wires going to the coil, + to + and - to - or it won't flash.

Crank the engine over and the LED should pulse brightly.

It will rule out Dizzy/ECU and ignitor and wiring between them all as the culprits in one test.

It's ok, he rang me a few days ago and i sorted it out over the phone, engine now running.

Poor connection on the distributor to blame.

To be honest a rev1 turbo engine loom should just plug in and work on a Rev1 NA (except 3s-fe) , so there had to be something else going on.

All sorted now that's the main thing.

i turnet out i did not have to do anything with the COR wires either.
my problem is in the afm.
it runs for just some seconds when i start it.
i can hear the flap in the afm Close when it stops.
if i hold the flap a bit open it runs and i can rev it up etc.
i can hear some noises in the afm while runnig so its not dead.

cheers Daniel

Do you have any air leaks between the AFM and throttle body? Any leak of metered air will stall the engine at idle.

I.e, the intake system must be sealed or recirculating between AFM and throttle.

i have tighten every clamp once again and sprayed startgas around hoses etc to se if the Engine change rpm but it does not.
it looks like someone have opened the afm as its been siliconed back again and the afm is not from this Engine.

hi again. its been a while since i posted. been working with other things on the car.
it still does not run proper.
i bought a new afm but it did not help.
if i start it it will run fore some seconds and then stopps.
if i put something to open the afm it runs at idle and i can test it for any leaks but i cant find any. if i puch the afm open and high rev it it runs .
but it does not hold the airflap in the afm open by it self.
any suggestions?
thanks Daniel
