Hello everyone,

I've gotten lots of help from people here in the past, but Right now I need all of you more then ever before...

I'm Gavin of the griffin800 website.. (check it out)

1990 9000 turbo

http://www.geocities.com/griffin800/index.html

and...

I've bought a custom built engine from Group9performance in CA...

It's been installed and it's all ready to go, except for one thing...

IT WON'T START! The mechanic is stumped, i'm stuped, everyone i'v talked to about it is stumped... and i'm about ready to give up on it... but after the $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ I spent, i can't.

Here is the problem,

There is no Ignition pulse... and rpm signal gets to the tach in the dash, but it doesn't make it to the ECU to "wake them up"

so basically the car doesn't "know" it's trying to start or something...

I've bought spare Di/apc box, and a spare ecu just to make sure the computers work... I've replaced the crank position sensor...

the main engine relay works... all the grounds APPEAR to be good...

The fuel pump runs when the key is in... the engine will crank over, but not catch and fire...

no igition pulse, no tach signal to ECU...

i am soo frustrated... this engine was supposed to resurect my car, not be the death of it... and my bank account...

someone make it stop! ;)
