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.

If this was my daily driver I would have sent it to the mechanic ages ago, but it's not, so I'm determined to get it going myself no matter how long it takes.
I unplugged everything this morning and reinstalled with the crash pad now in place. Now the car still won't start, but it appears that I have a short somewhere. As soon as I connect the battery my 30amp door fuse blows. I replaced it and tried again, same thing happened. It also seems that the ignition is coming straight on regardless of the key position. Here's a pic of the dash with the battery connected. The left indicator light is on solid, but not as bright as usual. The right indicator is not lit up at all. In this state, nothing works except for the dash back lights. The good news however is that the ECU relay is now opening when I try to start the car, so I guess that's a step in the right direction.  I have taken a couple of pictures regarding the clutch switch. The first pic is of my car, which shows the clutch switch and plug.  But this pic of the donor car clearly shows that there is no such switch on the clutch, nor is there are spare plug on the loom that would go to such a switch.  And here's another shot showing the lack of clutch switch.  The mystery continues... This post has been edited by S8S8: Apr 28, 2011 - 8:18 PM -------------------- |
