I've just finished converting my Aussie ST204 to Beams power using an ST202 SS-II clip, but I can't get the engine to start.

The engine turns over, but won't fire. We're pretty sure the problem is the fuel pump, as there is no fuel pressure. The relay on the ECU is operating, so the issue seems to be somewhere between there and the fuel pump. It was working fine with my old 5SFE just last week, so I'm sure it must be a wiring issue rather than an issue with the pump itself.

There are issues with wiring to the new instrument cluster too. It's way off, with all to wrong lights coming on for the indicators and high beam etc. The dash lights don't work at all either.

I'm not so worried about the dash issue at this stage, but thought I'd mention it on the off chance it could be connected with the non-starting issue.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. smile.gif

Things are going backwards now... the engine won't even turnover. The relay on the ECU is not being triggered (it was previously) so I can only imagine I've bumped something, but I've checked every connection and fuse and I can't find any issues. I don't know if this is related, but also my headlights are no longer working (they were previously).

If it helps at all, here's a run down of what is working and what's not working:

Working
Dash lights
Tail lights
Brake lights
Indicators
Climate control (installed from the donor car)
Central locking
Power windows
Power mirrors

Not Working
No spark
Engine won't turnover (was fine yesterday)
ECU relay (was fine yesterday)
Headlights (were fine yesterday)

When I turn on the ignition I get the oil light and the ABS light (which turns off after a few seconds) but I am not getting the check engine light or the battery/charge light.

I even tried plugging the factory stereo back in (from the donor car) in case there was some sort of factory immobiliser, but that didn't help. The stereo wouldn't turn on either, although I'm not sure if it worked originally.

there is a wire you need to repin for that. was your car originally auto?

My car and the donor car are both manual. I figure if the donor car didn't have the clutch switch, then I can just remove it from my car. The gearbox and all wiring is from the donor car, so I believe the switch is now redundant.

Hows the COR relay Did you wire that up properly? It controls the fuel pump from ecu. In theory everything should plug in and work IF you had a Honda.

The relay was working fine up until yesterday, but has now stopped for some reason. I've used the full engine and interior looms from the donor car, so nothing has really been "wired up" as such, it's all just plugged back in just like it was in the donor car.
