    Default Lt1 wont start in 85 iroc swap

    Spent this weekend wrapping up my wiring or so i thought. I got my engine to turn over, but i have no fuel delivery, or spark. I believe i have my battery terminals hooked up correctly, i have a chassis ground and a engine ground from the negative terminal, and from the positive a wire to the starter and one to the alternator. I have spliced into the pink wire under my dash for the ignition wire, i have the s-terminal wire from the C100 connector down to the starter.

    Im not sure if it makes a difference but im using the painless harness i got used off another board member, and in the harness it had two red wires labled B+ on starter, so i ran those there aswell.

    I connected my fuel pump wire to the tan wire behind the upper back seat of the car to the tan wire. The fuel pump would not run with the key on or attempting to start the car. I tested that wire to see if the pump was bad but when i ran a seperate wire right to the battery the pump worked so the pump isnt bad. I tested the fuel pump for power at the terminal that is labled fuel pump test on the painless harness by the fuse box and there was no power there.

    I checked for spark and i have no spark, so i disconnected the connector going down to the opti and tested for power there and i also have no power there.

    Im not sure what is going on. I hope i didnt fry the pcm somehow. im not sure if there is a sensor on the engine that wont let the pcm provide fuel and spark if it is faulty or not. i know some cars rely on a crank sensor for fuel/spark. any help would be appreciated guys. thanks in advance

    The engine is a 94 lt1/4l60E combo

    no i havent, ive been at school, ive had my dad test my maf to see if im getting a 5v reference, im getting no power to my sensors, opti, or fuel pump...im going home this weekend to try and get it all straighted out. im thinking my pcm isnt getting power or my pcm is messed up?

    is there any sensor on the lt1 that im not familiar with that would cut both power and fuel if its not reading correctly?

    my buddy had a simular problem when his o2s wires were exposed and touchin and if you put a code reader on it, it sayed the pcm needed replaced when it really didnt all of his sensors had no power ether. im really not to sure at what he did besides cut the o2 wires and replace all the fuses along with fixing the hack job fan wires that went into the fuse box under the hood. keep us posted.

    well i found out for one i had spliced into the wrong ignition wire under the fuse block. i found the correct ignition wire to splice into, however i still had problems with my coil not getting power, i traced arond my harness and found a pink power wire that had gone to nothing, i reread online, and i believe the wire is the power wire for the coil and ignition module. so im going to run that wire to power and see if im getting 12v to my coil. and then ill go from there.

    when your opti fails it cuts both power and fuel.
