So I bought a turbo 420a with a built motor at the begging of the year. At the time of purchase it only needed a clutch but still started and drove. After replacing the clutch the car would no longer turn over and if it did it would instantly die again. I was told that the haltec ecu that was in it ( a older model) lost its tune,so I attempted to download the software which would not work on my laptop. So at that point I sold it for a few hundred, and purchased a stock ecu (out of a manual trans car) stock engine harness (pulled out of a 97 auto in the junkyard, which is all they had. my car is also a 97) and stock injectors with the intent of getting the car running on stock conditions. After getting the harness, ecu, ect all in and connected the car will not crank. The starter is tested and working, and if I connect the starter directly to the battery the car will crank, but will not when turning the key. The ecu seems to not be powering up, because if I connect my scanner/code reader with the ignition turned it says no connection. And the fuel pump is not working via adj fpr with gauge ( no pressure built). All other electronics in the car work, fans, headlights, wipers, dash lights (except CEL). Battery is brand new. I am horrible with electronics and diagnosing so if anyone can help point me in the right direction.
