Have you checked for spark and fuel? Did you check the fuel pump and its fuse? To check for spark pull one pulg out and put it back in the coil and earth it out on the cam cover then get someone to crank it over. Also check to see if your plugs are wet to make sure you have fuel. If you have all these and still no go check you timing, cam and ignition.

Good luck.

your not getting lights on the dash, which means nothing is being controlled by the ECU.. is it still there?

was it stripped when it was stolen? alarm in there anywhere that could be cutting the ignition signal?

nothing was stripped. I believe when this low lives fool's drive out about 5 minutes then the car just died out founded down just 2 km from my house borbably a short somewhere I think. I just bought the car from Japan directly a few week's ago but I did not install an alarm or an imobilizer. but then what causes the light on dashboard when ignition is on stand by before starting her up, stereo, windows and light not working? what I meant in a few reply back is that none of the Light, stereo, dashboard light are contol by computer but main fuse is ok.

You mentioned you have fuel... do you have injector pulse???

I had similar issues when my ecu got fried through some wires melting in the engine bay..... after market computer though. But when it fried it took out all the interior lights only and most of the dash lights... warnings etc...

Guessing they could of crossed some wires when starting it and ended up frying the ecu... do you have a spare ecu you can use to test it? And check the wiring from the ignition barrel back to the ecu first.....

    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow 
    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
