so today i figured i would just give it a shot and install it (pinout version)

so everything was very straight forward i thought i did everything perfectly and the wires in the correct locations etc, triple checked everything so its time to start it up Just cranks and cranks i check Burger Motorsports website for troubleshooting cranking means ecu not connected or loose wire check everything again still nothing so i decided to take the JB3 out and go back to stock so wire up everything back to stock STILL CRANKS!!!!!! will not start guys please any thoughts any clues idea's guys i'm really scared i broke something and really don't got the $ to repair it if something did go wrong

car is currently broke down in a shop about 15miles from me

I know this sounds stupid, but make sure the ECU plugs are pushed on the ECU all the way. And the sliders closed so that it clamps on the ECU. The reason I suggest this is because it is very hard to get the car not to start-up at least. It may take a bit of cranking and may throw a bunch of codes but the engine should eventually start. The only times I've seen the engine just crank and crank and crank is if the ECU isn't plugged in.

Hope that helps.

Another reason is if the orange wire from the green connector for power has a bad connection with the power wire to the Procede, like mine did with the V2 installation...I don't know how pinout JB3 gets power though!

[Mike@N54Tuning.com]

Shiv makes a good point.. Just email Terry to get help. That is the best solution to any problems..

oh yeah... and get a PnP harness if you can. It would certainly rule out a dozen or so possible problems. And make your life a lot easier in the long run. These days, there is absolutely NO reason to go pin-out. Just asking for trouble, imho. Especially now that fuel pressure is intercepted in kits.

Think its possible his HPFP just happened to crap out a very bad time?

[wonsungnabi]

i couldn't start my car because i didn't plug sub connectors back at all. After i plugged them, i had CEL because a wire in tape was loose.

+1 on the ecu connection problem, make sure it seated properly if you are forcing it you are not doing it right. It should slide in and connect without any force at all.

ok im going back to the shop now il keep you posted on there PC and let you know how everythings going

+1.

Its also possible to slide the multipin connector into the slider assembly incorrectly... so that no pins in the connector can reach the ECU. I did that once...

wow, we've got very similar car options, odd mix of stuff, cool, good luck with the JB3, it's a great tune.
