Just to start off, I've check power to the FPR & the ECC relay, which none seem to be getting power, and ontop of that I have no spark. I'm thinking the ECU is next in line and I diffently got its little black wire connected at the silond. Think it could go bad just like that. It ran a couple days ago in the other car.

did you swap ALL the wiring? The different years vary a lot on wire placement, although the connector hardshells remain the same.

the only harness I swap was the ECU harness. This is the same way I did it on my 88 2.3 and it started right up.
