Car: OBD0 concerto PGM-FI
Engine: JDM B16A OBD1 - P30 ECU, engine to ecu loom in use.
Ok i wired up everything ... but she didnt start and didnt even crank, fuel supply is ok and main relays are working for the first try..
then i check the wires coming from the engine to the ECU and they all seem to be in the correct places.
Then i looked in the engine bay and noticed that there are 3 plugs.
1st plug is the injector resistor plug which has a cover on it. which i didnt need to hook up. <-- this is ok!
2nd plug has lots of pins in it and is not pluged in to anything
-does anyone know if this plug is actually required to enable for the car to start and run???
(see pic below, this pic was taken from my mates B18C which has the same plugs as a sample)
3rd plug is a 2 wire plug which has a fat black/yellow and black/white.
(see pic below, taken from my mates B18C as a sample)
-i checked out the starter motor and the round crimp is connected to the starter with a 10mm bolt and then the wire leads to the + of the engine fuse box. <-- this wire was fine.
Then i looked at the other connector on the starter and has the fat black/white wire which leads to the 3rd plug i was talking about and was not plugged into anything. So i checked the main relay and got power source from there which was the same colour as well. <-- this one is ok!
BUT the fat black/yellow wire which came from the 2 plug distributor which also had a blue wire... now where does these two wires go?????
update - i managed to hook up the fat black/yellow wire ... she now cranks but wont fire up!! the blue wire is still not connected to anything.- can anyone confirm this?
coz i checked out my mates B18C and has the sames plugs which is connected but these wires are not with the ECU looms, it is on the left side of the engine bay -seperate looms which i think goes back to the main relays and incabin etc..
sorry fellaz for the crappy pic , i hope it will help abit ..
does any one know what could be the problem why she wont fire up?
ignitor?? <-- does this have something to do with it?
ignition wires?
possible distributor?
starter motor? but this one is a good item, it doesnt make any bad azz clicking sounds.
basically ive got 2 wires from the ECU incabin where one of them has something to do with data connector wire which goes nowhere - so i didnt wire this up.
then the ELD - electronic load detector wire - i dont know where to hook this up to.. can anyone tell me where i can wire this up to?
The car is not showing any CEL codes, the concertos main relay is in the car just behind the stereo setup and shes clicking fine, fuel is supplied from the rear and to the engine -injectors as i can here her wind! .. as i said above she cranks but no signal to fire her up.
The battery is fine as its reading 12.55 volts with everything off, then whilst cranking she drops to 9.46volts ..is this normal?
also from searching on the www. people are saying something about pushing down the clutch pedal then try starting it? is this necessary?
havent checked if i got spark coz ran out of time - will get that checked tomorrow.
BIG HELP IS NEEDED!!! any suggestions - but i am really concerned about the massive plug that is not connected to anything as above pic.
thanks guys!![]()
