Your car needs three things to run properly.

*Fuel
*Spark
*Air

Make sure you are getting all three. Check all your grounds and make sure you are getting spark to the cylinders. Number one electrical problem is shitty grounding.

i bet you its one of these:
MAF wired wrong
injectors not getting pulse

Make sure pin 43 on the ecu b/y goes to orange wire on the dash plug.
Also make sure injectors are wired to constant 12 not switched.
Pin 43 is start signal it fattins fuel for starting.Like a cold start injector does.
If the injectors are on switched then when you start the car it will not have power until it gets in the 2nd start position.
Hope this helps.

inspect the fuel pump or check continuity at the ecu pin and fuel pump side for voltage, see if there is a short in the line. if you have a modified rb20det harness it should plug right into a stock chassis harness.

there should be two green relays under or near your glove box, do you have these?

Fuel pump no power to pump and i dont know where the pump wire taps into ecu at or into harness at!!!

yes it still has the green relays



when i got this rb20det swap it came with 2 harness 1 modded for s13 but all plug was cut off and all kinds of home made wiring another OEM uncut wire harness


unless someone know a really good diy to Mod stock rb20det harness for 240sx
