Ha !!!! Why didn't I think of that ? I used to do that with the EA82 ecu, does the ej ecu still have the same setup ?

Thankyou thank you !

Hi wiring is so frustrating one thing you could try is plugging the dash into the loom. there are a few things built into dash electronics that might be causing prob.

ok so if you still don't have spark, you should check out this write up (if you haven't allready)
http://http://www.d.umn.edu/~alex0219/Subaru/EA2EJ.pdf
page 22, around the ingnition relay is where i think i got spark. this write up is all i had when i did my swap and i had done nothing electrical to any other car in the past.

Thanks Shuffbag. Thats the one i've been using as well. I think I need to pull it all apart and start over, I have obviously done something wrong, so back to square one. :(:(

Back to basics

The diode under the dash hasnt been disconnected?

The ignitor is plugged in?

The brown relay is clicking?
