So i've swapped in a 3VZ-FE into a 91 non-turbo MR2. I've followed the MR2 Idiots wiring guide, but I must need the MR2 wiring guide for retards. So I wired everything the best I could and gone through the wiring, but here are the facts so far:
1. When I second click the ignition, the check engine light never comes on. I'm pretty sure it's supposed to click on, then back off but could be wrong.
2. The car does crank over and fuel pump turns on. I know for sure because it the car had a fuel leak that I had to tighten up.
3. Car has no spark. I tested it by pulling a plug and looking for spark. Also tried to hook a spark plug straight to the igniter and not getting spark from there either.
4. I tried to run the diagnostic check by jumping TE1 and E1, and TE2 and E2 but the check engine light never flashes. Strange thing is if I use my PowerProbe and apply ground to the green/white wire the check engine light does come on in the dash. I verified that it is connected to pin E4 on the ECU which is function "W".
5. I also busted out the voltmeter and verified that pins E1, E12, and E13 were getting 12 volts while ignition was on.
I'm guessing the ECU isn't working or getting power and that's the reason i'm not getting spark or any check engine light. I already tried using a different ECU but still have the same issues so I think that pretty much eliminates bad ECU. So i'm thinking it's must be something in my wiring. If any one could help me i'd be much appreciated!
