Iâve torn apart my z and searched the forums as well as talked to many of my friends for the past 2 weeks about this but basically Iâm not getting any spark once so ever all the way to the coil Iâve tested, i have a 1987 300zx na m/t and i swapped a 1985 300zx turbo a/t in and i deleted everything that wasnât necessary (ac, power steering, all vacuum lines/pumps, aiv aic selinods, icv, egr) when i pulled my engine everything worked fine, now that i have my 85 motor in i hook everything up and i have the started terminals on backwards or something to the point where it wouldnât start. I fixed this i try to start it with my 85 distributor and 87 coil and power transition all working. Still no spark injectors not firing either, so buy new ecu check fuses and still nothing, Iâm thinking i fried my harness when the starter terminals were on backwards, but i wanted to see what you guys thought, i had no continuity On the CAS pins when 8 and 17 pins in ecu were looped together, i really just want my car to run again itâs been 7 months now and Iâm not sure what to do anymore. ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED

Did you visually inspect the fusible links or test them with a continuity tester? Also did you check all the fuses on the driver side?

I visually checked the fuseable links on pass side, replaced anything anything that had to do with ignition on drive side fuses and even checked all the relays about the fuses on driver side, even took out my dash to follow the wires to see if any of them broke and still nothing, after jumping the ecu pins And not getting continuity Iâm convinced itâs the wiring harness or at least thatâs all i can think since Iâve replaced pretty much everything else

You should check them with a tester. Iâve seen them look fine and test bad. This is on a 280zx but just bumping causes it to fowl.

Those links prevent everything from getting power.

Also there are a couple main EFI relays behind the black cover on the fender frame rail behind right by the fusible link box.
