Started pulling the the chopped wires through the bulkhead and finished sorting the majority of the wiring off in the footwell.
I then plugged the ole laptop in to check it’s all communicating properly and what not.
Turned the key and nothing. No lights on the dash, no relays clicking not even footwell lights.
So I checked the battery, all the fuses even relays. Still nothing.
I went back to the wiring schematics and scratched the ole noggin a bit.
Tried bypassing the power hold relay... still nothing...
at this point I was thinking I’ve seriously ballsed something up.
Then it suddenly came to me, the other weekend I pulled the wires out of the passenger side wheel arch to paint and underseal it.
with the fuse box plugged back in.. turned the key and........
everything lit up
checked the laptop and everything seems to be in order. I calibrated the TPS to make sure all is well.
just need to grab another coolant temp sensor, wire in the map sensor and fuel pump. Also waiting for a couple of fuel line fittings. After that it’ll be ready to fire up the stock engine to and check it’s all good before it gets taken out to be stripped down for forging.
