I'm embarrassed that I even have to post about this kind of thing because I have been working on DSMs for 3 years now, but it's blowing my mind that my '98 GSX won't start and I cannot figure out why
It started and ran totally fine about a month ago. I then did a fusebox relocation for the chassis fuse box in the engine bay and now the car won't start. You can check this link for a video showing what happens when I crank the car:
It's definitely getting fuel (I can smell it clear as day) and the cylinders all have compression, I'm getting a spark and the timing hasn't been touched since I last worked on the car.
The most recent bout of non-starts I had with my car was from switching over to Speed Density a few weeks ago, but after working on the ECU with EcmLink and doing some basic tuning I had the car idling and running perfectly. I cannot imagine why it won't work now, but I have posted my EcmLink file to this post too just in case I am missing something obvious.
Regarding EcmLink, I used the EcmTuning SD bundle so I am running a GM IAT sensor and an OmniPower 4-bar sensor rewired and installed in place of the factory MAP sensor, both of which are plugged into the old MAF plug through the SD bundle harness. I can only imagine that maybe in the fusebox relocation a fuse blew somewhere or maybe the change in resistance due to lengthening the wires is having an adverse effect on my car
