Tony240ZT Posted January 6, 2002 Share Posted January 6, 2002 I'm doing the same thing, and have run into the same problem. Someone has had to of done this before and can help us out. I plugged everything in and I get no fuel. I guess the computer doesn't see that the engine is turning over. Can someone give us a hand with ignition, and making the whole wiring system complete? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony240ZT Posted January 6, 2002 Share Posted January 6, 2002 Forgot to add.. Your fuel pump should come on as soon as the ignition is in the ON possition. If you don't have a wire back there for it you'll need to find a wire that is hot at this point and run it to the back. The computer doesn't control the on/off of the pump.

Tony240ZT Posted January 21, 2002 Share Posted January 21, 2002 Got my `83 L28ET efi setup running on my L24ET today. I've got some things to finish up before I can drive it around, but it idles and revs well. I found that the Air Flow Meter was set to make the car run way too rich to begin with, so I loosened up the bypass screw, and messed around with the tention of the spring. Over near the battery is a green relay with a brown wire, this needs to be hooked up to the possitive side of the battery, also there is a green wire that needs to be hooked up there as well. If you cut off the green relay then the black with wite wires need to be put to the possitive side. There is a plug that used to plug into the chassi harness with 6 terminals. You will need trace the wires in your book to make sure they are the correct ones to use. There is a black one that should be grounded, a Yellow one that needs power while cranking and while on, there is also a yellow white wire that goes over to the coil ecu signal amp. The black white wire that plugs into the coil ecu signal amp needs power, and the amp gets ground by being bolted down to the chassi (this was my mistake). Let me know if you have any other questions. Again I used a setup off of a `83 280ZX Turbo, which has the crank angle built into the distro. I noticed my ecu light turns off when the car is turned on, I don't know if this is correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
