I did an engine swap out of my 1990 240sx fastback with a 1995 240sx engine. It's not pumping gas into the engine and I believe it is because the wire for the gas pump isn't hooked up right. The guy who wired it originally used half of the wire harness off of the 90, which goes into the fuse box and into the ECU, and the other half goes onto the engine. I need help so if anybody has any insite at all, please let me know.

Check the grond wires on the engine block above the Oxygen sensor to make sure they are bolted down properly and you are getting a good ground. Make sure that the secondary wire that runs from the engine block to the firewall to the left of the brake booster is also bolted down properly. The fuel pump, along with several other sensors use the engine block as a grounding point. If there is a short in the wiring or the connector, your car will not run at all or if it does, then it will run like crap..it will stumble and stall on you during acceleration & braking. . Don't ask me how I know this....
Anyhow, hope this helps...
