ok car has lots of mods, has everything.well ill get right to it, car ran fine, no issues, then the other morning went out to start it but just wouldnt start, i took the day of work to try to figure it out. so i have spark, i have fuel, i have compression. i can hear the fuel pump, the plugs are in right order, inj plugs are right.
when i remove the cam angle and rotate it by hand i can hear the injectors firing one at a time, i see the fuel in the champers, here is there it gets weird, when i install the noid light it wont light up when i turn it over! im dead in the water! i have tried everything i have asked my tuner, he is also mind boggled. if anyone has any ideas please let me know, at this stage it may be the injector relay(i dont think so) or the ecu(dont think so)
please help...


...well got it started, dont know how, i took the ecu into the house, removed dsmlink chip and cleaned socket. plug in the ecu to car and dried the excess fuel, checked the noid lights and this time it did light up like it should. it started right up but only on 3 cylinders, i kept it runing for a few minutes and it rightified itself. im glad i got it runing but i still dont know what caused this pain in a$$. thanks for all the helpful info. happy new year!
 
thanks for the advanced tech info old mitsu tech, but the noid lights are all new, bought just for this problem, but i will try the test light idea. im in the process for finding stock injectors, installing them and installing my stock ecu, trying to rule out some factors. ill post my findings asap! thanks.



Who knows. I will tell you that just because the noid lights are new, that really means nothing. New stands for Never Ever Worked before. Trust, yet verify any tool that gives you an abnormal reading.

Good Luck
