Check your relays and fuses!

And make sure grounds are good, also double check that all plugs are plugged, some are very hard to see. PM Rob (RS13) He knows the electrical stuff good.

Red top harness should plug straight into a 180sx. I’d check for voltage on the plugs to the coil packs. And like ereybody else has said, double check that connections are good and solid.

Did this go into a JDM car?? Or a LHD car.

Check your two big green relay’s in the passenger side engine comartment. Try switching them, it could solve the problem.

Can you hear the fuel pump come on?? Also what number is your ECU. If it is a red top it should be a 62 or 63.
