Shitbox EK9 - No Electrical Power, WTF???
 

K so I took up a job to fix this guys car and so far its ended up being a BIG ------- MISTAKE. That thing has been nothing but a big ass headache. First off, ride is 96 HB w/ B16 w/ obd1 conversion... a couple probs I had to fix.... He was using dsm 390cc w/ no resistor box, vacum line left unconnected, and was running a car on a PO6 w/ a vafc for management.

I wired in the resistor box, hes now running a pO6 converted to P30 w/ crome made map and cleaned up as much of his wiring as i could. The guy that did his motor swap and hooked up his afc just twisted the wires together.... on most of them he at least wrapped em w/ elec. tape. Anyways I got the car running decently for the rushed time he gave me... Would have liked to have put more time in it but oh well. So the car was back on the road as of yesterday. He took it to autozone today to pick up a new iacv(Code showing its bad but prolly shitty wiring job) and when he tried turning the car on to leave, nothing. Car wont start, No electrical power at all. He called me asking what the ----? I told him Ild swing by to check it out after work but got off late and havent had a chance to check it yet. He says everything plugged in and the batt fuse is still cool. Any one have any idea what it might be??? Thanx guys. Ill post up pics ASAP.

Loose battery cables, loose battery terminals maybe. Jiggle them around. Could be the starter wire.

my ek likes to pop alternator fuses..then run like it has a vac leak (which i of course try to find for about an hour each time) that doesnt really exist. If he drove it long enough like that then it could die

Hmmm, gonna have to check that out. The guys convinced its the ecu job I did. Never had a prob w/ any comp ive done in the past and dont understand how it could be the ecu but maybe theres a chance? ? ? Im headed over to check things out. Ill let everyone know what I find.

Thanx for your input by the way. ;)
