right that could be my problem.

as it stands now, took all the van wiring out. (all dash, and engine bay loom,and took the pats thing off from around the ignition barrel, and left the rear light loom in tho)

so put rs2000 engine bay loom in, dash looms, and rs fuse box, and am going to splice the rear light loom in to the rs rear light loom plug.

the car the engine came from didnt have that bit around the ignition barrel (pats?)

it still has the original van ignition barrel and key at the min, i can get ignition but it wont turn over and fuel pump doesnt prime.

as you say about using the chipped key, guess i can just put the ignition barrel and key from the car the rs engine came from on to my van and shoudl work??

what you think?
