87 TII harness in an 88 TII
So I have an 88 TII, and I installed an engine harness in the car from an 87 TII. it has the resistor pack connector on it, so what i did was cut the plug and splice the 5 wires together. I have 800cc secondary injectors. I have resistors soldered in for the 800cc injectors. I put the injectors from the 88 back in the primary spot, thinking it would start with no problem since i spliced the 5 wires together, but im still getting no fuel. I know im not getting any fuel, because out of curiousity, I dripped a tiny bit of gas into the intake manifold, and the car fired right up for 2-3 seconds (until it burned that gas off). Is there something Im missing? If anyone could help me, I'd really really appreciate it.

I was thinking the same thing, especially since I was using a Jspec fuel rail atfirst(but ditched it because it was leaking at the pulsation dampener), so I swapped the hoses around every few times and still nothing.

I went back and respliced and soldered those 5 wires together like Funkspectrum said and I think I got the primarys to turn on, the car sounded like it wanted to turn on for a brief moment. Do the secondary injectors work during start up? they only come on at a certain rpm right? so If I unplugged my secondaries that have the resistors soldered on, would it fire up and idle?
The reason im asking is because if the secondaries work during start up, I may have it wired up wrong. I have the green Sard 800cc ones, and the connector it comes with, doesnt seem to fit on the injector(which is weird), so I actually had a wire going straight to the prongs on the injectors (i know its a really bad way to do it, I just wanted to get the motor to turn on and idle)
