Won't be OBD. The test connectors are in the engine bay. (I think it is an EEC-IV?)

No power to the injectors... if all the fuses are good I would look at the ground on the front of the engine by the dizzy, and then check the dizzy itself.

Is the fuel pump turning on when the key is put to run?

ok ive tried all that lots new parts still wont run garage said if they cant hook it to scanner they wont be able to diagnos cars not far from going to scrap yard

Sorry - Just read the history... see there are few things that were checked. Obviously something failed to blow the fuse initially and now you are chasing the issue.

Tell them to hook up the scanner the way they would for a Ford Festiva. The check plugs are in the engine bay by the driver side strut towards the window.

I would think there is an order in which the process would go in as far as wiring would go example from key switch to computer then ign mod so on on

ok I will let them know

Check all the grounds . Check the pins at the dizzy for loose or broken . On that car the only added wire that would effect running that's needed for the swap was the forth wire on the dizzy . Peel some off the loom back about three inches and you will see the connection . Then again at the ECM plug . Ohm that wire make sure it's good .
is the main relay clicking when key is cycled ?

the garage thinks dis is not getting correct volts but said he needed to scan it . ive tried to get to blow fuse again by wiggling wires and shaking car but fuse has not blown since it happen first time

[shawnj43055]

yes main relay is clicking even replaced I have power at coil and at dist ing mod test good so did coil replaced them anyway put coil pickup dist that came out of running car computer shows no signs of corrosion or burnt spots have found no broke or short wires im lost at this pont

What fuse blew ? I'm missing something?
Is it cranking strong

[shawnj43055]

checked wire from ecm to dizzy it has no power was told it was a reference wire and that it has no power it just sent signal ????????????????

[shawnj43055]

I do all my own work cars atvs etc but this car has me lost now the garage seems lost

[shawnj43055]

shade it blew the main fuse on strut tower now spark or power to injectors

[shawnj43055]

it cranks fine and everything works such as lights wipers etc

The wire from dizzy to ECM should not have power . Unplug dizzy and unplug ECM . Make sure you get an ohm reading from one plug to the other . It's a single wire all the way through connects to nothing else . Should be solid 00 reading from end to end . Check that . It's the only non stock wire added .
