car cranks but no start
I am trying to hunt down the problem to why my car wont start after a clutch change, and installed header and o2 housing. Actually it started twice and the third time nothing. I got a mechanic to look at it real quick and he said there's spark and fuel and I believe he said it like this "there is no injector ground pulse". I'm quite a newbie to anything with an engine. He said make sure the ecu isn't the problem. I bought a tatrix cable and was able to read from the ecu with ecuflash. So my question now is, could it be a bad fuse? If so which fuses should I check or replace? If a fuse was blown which one(s) would have to do with the car not starting. THANKS

There are ground wires that bolt to the tranny through those 14mm bolts that bolt it to the block...check to see if they are all connected. Also check the starter wire and make sure the rubber grommet is on it and its not toucjing anything metal as it could cause a short.

Check your main engine fuse. Same exact thing happened to me when I installed my TB exhaust and all it was was a blown engine fuse.

there is a fuse under the steering column that will cause this for the ecu, i believe this will also happen with the 4th fuse up in the engine fuse section as well. Did you forget to connect your crank sensor ? Any codes ?
