have you tried cranking over crank with a ratchet just to make sure it hasnt seized, if it hasn't as long as when you changed all your electrics over you put your series 1 coil packs and igniter over then you should use the series 1 ecu and it should work. only thing left is a loose connection or blown fuse or realy, easist to pull out all the fuses check if they are ok, i dun remember how to check relays mabye try swaping the mayor ones around if there are any and smell then see if they smell burnt out, then if that fails start checking ALL of your connections you have made make sure everything is hooked up and hooked up correctly and properly

Dont dry cell batteries need a charger with a lot more oomph than normal batteries?

What sort of battery do you have and what charger are you using?

I had my dry cell on charge with a small charger for quite a few days...lol it didnt work at all :)

Maybe try a new battery (not a new dry cell they can be $$$$) at least it will rule it out.

well i brought a new battery its worked well sort of

it primes everything up all sweet n shit all lights work

but its wont fire the starter motor

can i have put the wires on the wrong terminals on the starter motor

does anyone have pic of whet side they go on ??

Noone on here will be able to tell you with certainty what your problem is. Grab your multimeter and start by checking the voltage across the starter motor when trying to start and if that's no good check for continuity (resistance) between the ecu (pin 43 i believe, but check this) and starter, check the fuse etc. There isn't much really to the circuit apart from the ignition barrell. If the ECU isn't sending the correct signal (eg. series 1 vs 2) then you have basically no chance.

Is the ECU spitting out any error codes? Is there power to anything else? (water temp sensor, CAS, AFM, coils, fuel pump as random examples)

i know that but im elimanating anythin possiable

error codes ?? how do i find this out

and where is pin 43 on the ecu

my hole wiring loom in s1 any wires or elec componants are s1 all i dont was use the head and block

when you say you dont have any spark or inj do you mean the starter try's to crank it but it doesnt turn over just going tick tick tick?? are both the injectors and spark not working how have you tested for both? is the fuel pump priming?

Try swaping with a known good series 1 ecu, make sure the ignitor pack is plugged in properly, double check you havent missed pluggin in any of the connections. are the ignigtor packs known to be good?? stupid question but did you transfer over your spark plugs sometimes people forget the obvious things.

i have plugged everythihng in

the pump is priming

its turning over

the ignightor pack is pluged in

spark plugs are in

i tested them all

spark plugs not sparking

inj not pulsing

all tested

have ya found out what the problem is yet with your car

i have a similar problem at the moment. The car was running previously but then now wont start. The engine is turning over but just wont start.

different power fc's have already been tried. Spark plugs, coilpacks, different CAS will be looked at monday.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
