General 98-99 Black Box ECU in 96 GST not working

Yes the firing order is correct. Already addressed this. Car cranks up perfectly with stock ECU. Switch over to black box and the fuel pump doesn’t even turn on. Doesn’t even attempt to crank. Bad ECU?

I remember seeing a post about this recently with the exact issue. Have you tried browsing previous forums to see if you can find the answer?

Yea I did, but it just turned out to be a bad ECU. Bought another one and it worked perfect.

Glad to see you got it resolved!

Any reason you went with blackbox ECU instead of ECMLink or anything else?

For the fact that I was getting a pro tune on a dyno, the black box ECU was perfect for my needs. It’s obviously flashable and allowed my tuner to work his magic and get the car running properly and get me my desired power goals.

It’s significantly cheaper than ECMLink also. If I wanted to learn how to tune it myself and toy around with a ton of features I would have went ECMLink for sure. I've heard it is very user friendly and a good platform for learning.
