So here's the background,
MSP threw rod, so ordered FS-ZE, forged it, used UR Crank pulley that was on the DE. Upgraded to Exedy stage III clutch and Findanza flywheel.
Tranny reverse lock out and internal shift change rod broke, so repaired that with parts from stealership and welded differential.
Replaced battery, starter (both gave out from trying continuously to start)
Electrical Mods include PLC Wideband, HDi EBC, SSAFC, and Greddy turbo timer (which all power on when key is in on position)
WB and timer are wired to ignition switch, SSAFC and WB are wired on ECU harness.
No the issue:
Fuel pump is not kicking on in any scenario (Key on, Key start, etc)
I can manually turn pump on jumping the pins where the fuel pump relay is
Bench tested fuel pump relay (and every relay and all fuses while I was at it)
Have NOT yet checked for spark, seeing fuel isn't even getting to the engine.
Checked continuity from fuel pump relay, to DLC pin F/P, to ECU connector pin 80, all good.
Checked resistance across CKP and CMP and all tested fine. Conducted short to ground test on both and tested fine.
Tried another ECU and no change
Reason for all the wire testing is a ground wire started smoking while cranking. It's a body ground located on driver's side right near the DLC port. There's 5 grounds connections, with 4 of them being double wire and one larger black wire. The one single black wire is the one that practically melted. Car does not crank without it connected. cut back on harness to find it connects to another wire.
Researched this wire using 2002 Protg Wiring Diagram Supplement and diagram indicates that it goes to the neutral switch located on the bottom of the tranny. Not sure how that could be related but obviously an issue.
Not really sure where to go from here, I would really just like to get this thing up and running after 6 months of work.
Thanks in advance.
