Ok so i really need everyone's help. So i have a 95 eagle talon that has a fresh 6 bolt swap done, block is from a 91 if that matters. So ive hooked everything's back up to the car and connected my battery and no power comes to the car. Lts radio etc. Nothing... yes its a good battery. Only power i can see is that my alarm warning litght on my dash is flashing??? No idea whats going on.
 
Are all your grounds clean and tight on the engine?
 
Thanks for the reply, yes unfortunately it was a ground.. kinda embarrassed i missed something that stupid. Everything's almost finished now, cars running just having problems with my ecm link v3. Every time i try and connect it says theres no connection to my computer.
 
No problem. My Link does the same thing from time to time. I unplug it and try again until it works.
 
Yes ive geard that about the connection, now the stock ecu is back in the car. I took out the chipped ecu because everytime i turn the ignition on the fuel pump relay makes a loud ticking sound and will not stop? An ideas? Its located behind the passenger left side kick panel.
All advise is greatly appreciated!
 
I'm not sure what would cause the relay to continuously click. Is your chipped ECU DSMLink?

Yes my ecu is dsm link v3, its weird to because when i did the first fire up after the swap on the car and it ran and the chipped ecu was in the car and it started with no problems, no relay tucking or anything. Car ran for 30 mins tops between fire ups on the first day.

Next day i hooked up a boost gauge, an aem widband, and a air/fuel ratio gauge in. Once i wwnt to turn the car on it wouldn't run and for days i was having trouble getting it to start. So yes i discounted everything i tapped into the day prior and still nothing. So for the next few days i noticed i was getting fuel to the rail, i changed the fuel pump and relay and still nothing, then chaned fuel regulator and solenoid. And still nothing. Then for kicks i changed the ecu and put and the stock one in the car and the (replacement) fuel relay made a loud ticking sound. Weird i know, then i put the old relay back in with the stock ecu and it fired right up. And thats how the car sits now.

Then once the car was running again i changed ecu and put the chipped one in and it makes the old and new relay make a ticking sound and wont start, people are saying its my ecu? Which is weird cause the first day it was in the car and ran with no problems.

Every time the key is turned on? Or just when the fuel pump turns on?

Right when the ignition is turned on. Read my last post as well better describes my issues.

Thanks for advice guys!

Make sure you are keeping the battery charged up. If not running regularly and doing electrical (ignition on testing) you could be draining it.
