yeah i read through this already but i dont have a multi meter to test it

[ECU-MAN]

they only cost $20 from jaycar for a simple meter that can test continuity ( for the wiring test ).

you need a scope to actually test the KS properly.

guessing and changing parts may not be the best way to resolve it.

who could do this test for me??

[ECU-MAN]

its hard to say

they would have to have an Ocsiliscope or waveform viewer

most good workshops have this type of equipment and if they know how to use it they can help you properly.

since your KS is new ( or is it 2nd hand new ) you most likely have a wiring or ECU issue.

what engine and ECU do you have ?

jdm b18c p72

[ECU-MAN]

so its OBDIIa

start with a continuity test. chances are its not wired corectly or open circuit

[lsvtec]

OBDI i think

[ECU-MAN]

the P73 didnt come in OBDI for a B18C regardless sounds like you have a wiring issue and you need to start there for testing
