Default l8 ecu experts

i have just bought 4x4 saph which runs a l8 ecu. can any tell me why is won't run my mates 4x4 saph which also runs a l8 ecu?
it won't fire at all and won't make the amal valve click like his does when turning on the ignition.
could there be a fault with my ecu and someone has altered the wiring loom to solve the problem?

the loom does look like its been messed about with where the ecu plugs in. so that could be a possibility.
