hi mate yes the ignition amp is plugged in a fixed on the inner wing but the fuel pump doesnt prime (only does when i bridge the relay) but i have no power to the ignition amp .
this bit is hard to desribe but
the old engine loom and car had a 2 wire plug that split near the ecu plug and crossed over to the drivers side and plugged in the car loom behind the clocks area .
but this car doesnt have the 2 wire plug behind behind the clocks .
thats why i got another engine loom.
hope this helps if i cant get it started by the weakend its going on the bay

Main power check: check for DC Voltage of at least 11.5 Volts between ECU pins 19. and 20.
