well as most of you know, approx a month ago, i tryed to crank the car with low voltage and i her a pop, then the electrical went crazy and it never ran rite again, so i changed ecu,coils,tps,cas, ect, i even took apart the engine harness and checked that out and Still no go, soo i decided that it must be the Chassie harness, mabee a fuseable link went out so, razorback on the fourm hooked me up with a S5 T2 chassie harness, now i know it aint the same but i should be able to make it work good enuff to try get the car going again, so the chassie harness came in today to i plan to start to change it out tommarow, and over the long weekend, sooo hopefully i can have her running buy sunday, cuz i have to moove the Fc and put it on jackstands cuz im stealing the tires off it for my subaru... but here is a few pics of what im in for...









hopefully i can get her going soon, cuz im starting to fall in love with my subaru hehe...

and i need to drive it to my aunts for winter storage, i really dont wanna pay for a tow truck


peace

WTF. You plan on putting a S5 DASH HARNESS IN A S4!? Do you REALIZE that your ECU plugs won't fit anymore, and that's the LEAST of the problems! I mean seriously, was it REALLY that hard to troubleshoot and figure out what was wrong before tearing half the car apart? There's not much that the dash harness has to do with making the car run, so it sure isn't hard to check the wiring for that.... what an absolute waste!

 

the wiring from the ECU to the coils goes thru that harness, and it seems to be a problem in that area or somthing, or a fusable link is blown out

 

someone actually took the time to take out their front harness?? thats going to be an adventure man.

 

That's not what he's talking about Dustin, the fact is that s4 and s5 stuff are different, with plugs and wiring. Ever tried plugging in s5 blinkers/wipers/etc into s4 harness, or vice versa? LOL yah its neat.

 

S4 will not work with a S5 body harness dude.

Plus have you tested your battery or alternator?

 

arg, i seem to **** up everything

 

The fact that you say or 'something' is REALLY bothersome. You pulled your entire damn harness out just because you couldn't check a couple of wires on a harness? If it was actually VERIFIED that it was bad, maybe I'd understand, but just pulling it out because for some reason you can't think of anything else is just a bit nuts...

ALMOST as nuts as thinking you can replace a S4 dash harness with a S5! I hope you ordered a S5 ECU/AFM/Pressure sensor/OMP/TPS, cuz unless you plan on hacking the **** out of this harness, you just wasted an assload of time, and money. All because you didn't do what me and dDub said, and check everything with a DMM....

 

I tried explaining this to you once already when you ordered it the first time

But you said it was all okay and told me you researched it and knew what was going on.

 

You fail at life! Your RX-7 owns you!

 

His not listening to people who know better and try to help him is what owns him....and this is why most of us don't bother trying anymore

 

hell i try to learn, but wiring im horrible at, and no sonik i havent even touched the harness in my car the pics of the new one, i dont have a clue what to do now?, and when som,ong tells me to do somthing and i keep asking questions most peeps get argervated with me(accept ddub not sure how)

 

yup bat and alt are all good

 

Well thank god you haven't removed the other yet.... usually you don't post pics until it's way too late!

What you NEED to do. Is check voltages/resistances AT the ECU dash harness connector (going to the coils, etc). THEN check the voltage at the fuel pump. THEN recheck EVERYTHING's voltage/resistance on the ENGINE harness.

 

aim me and try help me fix it, just dont get agervated with me cuz im stupid at wiring

 

I know, but some people own cars and some people let their cars own them. Is it my fault my parents bought me a muti-meter and cheap electrical tool kit for my 12th birthday? That was 1985, BTW so the VOM was analog.

 

Arg.... that's impossible to ask of me! haha... how about I talk and you don't?

 

well soinik showed me what to do to start the testing on it, i have a list of all the ECU pinouts and voltages so tommarow i will test em all and come back with the ones with problems if there are any

 

And if thats shot, I have a 87 GXL harness for him.

 

Well, at the moment I've got him checking all the engine harness things to see if there's anything abnormal, then we'll trace the wiring through the dash harness to the coils/etc and see.

 

felixwankel88, we love you.

what's the car even doing/not doing?
like it cranks, but won't start?
or no crank at all?

I hate electrical **** too, I just bought a vert that seems to have an electrical nightmare going on, and on top of it I want to use s4 parts in an s5 (opposite of you) and that just isn't goin to happen either!

 

dear god. i feel like slapping you. this is what i would do. i would totally redo the harness.


god doesnt want you to own an fc man. sell it and buy a geo metro.

 

lol, first we're going to find out if the harness is even bad!
