  1. It's fixed! You were totoally right, dexter. We had the guy who wired it up to check the car and one of the big 80A fuses mounted in the engine bay blew. I checked that same fuse before but i guess i didnt look at it hard enough. Thanks for the help and replies everyone
  2. Right, so everything is stock except the wiring harness which was professionally installed. No standalone, just factory ecu, and stock coil over plugs. It looks like this problem is getting specific to the engine (sr20) so i think ill have to look at forums with topics on sr20's not getting a spark. There are already a lot of other posts with seemingly the same problem i have. Most are talking about coils not working, bad wiring, or broken ignitor chips. Buuuut if anyone knows what could have happened to make a perfectly running car all of a sudden get no power to the fuel pump AND get no spark, im all ears. Also ill talk to the guy who wired it up for us and see if he has any ideas.
  3. Thanks for the suggestion of checking the spark! We didnt see a reason why the spark plugs would stop working but after your suggestion we went ahead and checked. Alas, we have no spark. Does anyone know what could have happened to make the fuel pump not get any power AND the spark plugs? We checked fuel flow, and its totally fine. Quickly checked all the fuses but would a blown fuse be the problem? If so we can check them even harder.
  4. Hello people First of all, it's an sr20 in a '78 280z in which my brother and I did everything except the wiring which was done by a shop (with a new "Painless" wiring harness). Right, so earlier this week the car died on the way home so we towed it home and found out the fuel pump was not working because it was not getting power. With some tests with a multimeter, we concluded the wire is broken somewhere in the harness. Instead of following the wire through the maze of the harness to find the problem, I wired the pump directly to the battery, with a toggle switch, and the pump definitely works as it makes a sound. But it still wont start. It cranks fine, the fuel tank is full, but it wont fire. What could be wrong? Is it not ok to wire the fuel pump directly to the battery? Is the problem somewhere other than the fuel system? Thanks!
  5. With those wide wheels on the front, what did you do to get the inside of the wheel to not hit the strut assembly?
