    both red lights come up ..oil and battery...no engine light at all....and fuel doesnt prime
    didnt swap the harness as ive read the are basically the same...except the temp sensor is at the back of manifold
    i just lengthened the wires
    have checked fuses and swapped relays...and tried a different ecu

    all ecu power comes from the two plugs by the battery same with fuel pump feed check them plugs are in good and clean.then the only other wire that powers the ecu is in the cabin its pink at the ecu it is the ignition feed to turn the ecu on and off test it for power when the key is on
