    No fuel, but cranks well!

    OK. So close to being done on my swap, its now frustrating that im getting no fuel.

    I can crank the car and I hear no fuel pump. When I turn it to accessory I would typically hear it run, but now I dont. When I jump the green/violet wire and the red wire on the fuel pump relay, I can hear the fuel pump run. With this jumped and cranking the engine, I still dont smell any gas coming out of the header (havent hooked up the exhaust yet)

    I dont know what is happening or what to check next.

    sure you have the lines running correctly? Very common to have them reversed.

        Lines are correct. Just check them. I jumped the said wires above, and fuel came shooting out. I have the supply connected to the front of the fuel rail. What should I check next?

          are you getting spark?

          no fuel/no spark is the DME's way to disable the engine, this could either be from an error, or EWS(what DME do you have?)

            I believe I have a red label 413 ECU. I also dont have my MAF plugged in because the pins are incorrect (6 pins on MAF, 4 on connector). This wouldnt prevent it from firing in some way would it?

              No, the MAF disconnected would not prevent it from firing. Double check that all your relays are in the right relay holder. There should be 2, 4 prong relays with no center prong. The main relay should have 5 prongs. Make sure they are in their corresponding spots. Simply count the number of leads connected to the plastic housing and plug in the corresponding relays. (5 leads, 5 prong relay, 4 leads, 4 prong relay).

              If you don't have spark, and no fuel, it could be easy as the main relay. If not, check the dme plug if the DME is getting power, and if the CPS sensor is sending 500 - 1000 ohms to the DME.

                is your chip installed correctly (tab facing the right way)?

                  do you have a good crank signal? is your check eng light on? have you jumped the fuel pump relay to see if it works ?

                    I will check these relays. Ill see if I can check the crank sensor too.

                    I jumped the fuel pump relay, and when I do I can hear the fuel pump run.

                      Ok, pulled 2 coils and tested them both, looks like im getting no spark as well. I pulled the ECU and popped the top. First time ive done it so Im not sure what Im looking for in terms of the chip. Here is a pic of it:

                        The white plastic cover is for the chip. Looks like it's the right orientation, looks like factory chip.

                          You have an EWS problem.

                          purchase an EWS delete chip, or get a red label 413

                          I had the same problem a few months ago.

                            This is a red label 413 ECU. Shouldnt have and EWS that I know of...

                              Do you have a CEL?

                              What is the resistance of your Crank position sensor?
