turbo day ! whoopteedo.......car won`t start
completed my hmt went to bolt it on, car cranks but won`t start.
its not getting spark and i noticed theirs no power to the ecu, it norrmally throw codes but when i also don`t hear my relay click when i turn the key to acc i only hear one my fuel pump stays on to but i have rigged cut off switch.
i had this problem before earlier when i had changed my oil 3 months ago i accidently losen a ground strap wire on the where the next the thermostate housing tighted it up and started up. I thought it was that but its not i tried hooking just 1 of the ground wire check light comes on and redlight on the ecu stays lit it dosen`t blink
i did replace 2 fuses after my turbo installation that i blew do to 2 wires hanging around when i was installing my intercooler the fuses were for horn the fuse thats next to the strut tower and the fuse in the main relay box inside the car it was the cigarette lighter/ relay fuse.
i`m starting to think either i shorted out my ecu or one of the relays next to the main fuse box went out. But other then that i`m completely clueless this time. Any helpful hint would that might help me out
.............this sucks

Re:turbo day ! whoopteedo.......car won`t start
well i finally figured it out it was the alarm somehow something fried in it so i ripped it off it was some cheap crap anyways and rewired everything, started right up i guess it fried when i was hookin the IC since i had a loose wire hanging around
thanks for the replies
by the way whats the normal oil pressure mine`s reading pretty low like 15lb just a little worried on that
