OK as per my other help thread - IT RUNS
two pins were backwards in the ecu plug, causing the 5v circuit to short. when this happens the ECU does not turn on as a safety measure.
I got the car sorted, coolant bled with nate and had to replace the alternator.
The car sounds INSANE. I could not have wished for a better noise. I drove it to work today and it runs flawlessly.
Its so easy to drive around town but when you put your foot down it makes one hell of a noise and really moves!
Honestly, after driving it for the first time, it was worth every penny and hour spent on it. I finally built my dream car. I could have had an 86 for what I have spent on my car over the past 4 years, but no 86 would be as fun to drive and as powerful as this. Nor would it turn heads like this.
Packing my tools tonight, clothes tommorow and off to MTC on the weekend. So excited!
