Engine Problems!!! Need Help!!!

To run the 5speed ecu you will need the 450cc injectors.

I did a manual ecu swap on an auto before. I installed 450cc injectors and a 14b as well. The car worked fine then.

Last night I checked my timing and it was right on and I also tested my coil and it was good. Then I decided to mess with my plug wires a little bit and after that tried starting the car and it fired right up so I believe my plug wires are part of the problem.

Well I tried starting my talon again today and it will not start up again today. Tomorrow I am going to look at the connector and take the coolant sensor out and test it in hot water. Hopefully that is the problem.

Tomorrow I'm going to check the fuel pump, fuel pressure solenoid, and the pressure regulator. What would be the best way to go about testing these? I am also going to get out my soldering iron and redo my connector for my engine coolant sensor.

u dont need the fuel solenoid u can take the vacuum line that goes to it and hook it up to your intake mani vacuum port... it might start a bit hard after that... atleast that is what i have ben told..

If the coolant temp sensor is not connected to the ecu or is bad... the ecu assumes its fully warmed up by default... Good luck starting it below 45F. Thats one code that needs to be addressed if you want to drive it in the winter.

I had my heater running in my garage today for a few hours and then I was finally able to start my talon up. So that makes me believe that I do need to redo my connector to my coolant temp sensor, also I must not have tightened up the TPS well enough. I could hear air coming from it while the car was running. Right now I am headed out to the garage with a soldering iron to inspect my connectors and fix the ones that need to be fixed.

Tonight i was able to redo the connector to my coolant temp sensor and it was able to start up now but you can here a big air leak at around the throttle body area and also when you have the key turned on you can hear ticking coming from the engine bay and I notice that it is from the ISC because when I unplug it the ticking stops. Does this mean that my ISC is bad? Also would a bad TPS let air out of it because i think that is where the air is coming from.

air leaks will make starting it that much harder cause it will be even more lean, If you can hear the leak while the engine is running its a pretty bad leak...
