Hey guys background is car has 63k miles...po couldn't get it started one day and it sat for past 8 years. Dropped fuel tank and cleaned it...new fuel pump and after a number of attempts at troubleshooting thanks to this forum I still cant figure out why the injectors aren't firing. Runs on choke cleaner. Previous ecu has suspect corrosion so I got another one ..looked clean on inside but same prob. Injectors have power to them and click when grounded. Mpi relay good. The resistor pack up by fuel rail has 3 wires. One is supposed to be for coil...when should this be hot?? At my wits end here lol Thanks, Eric |

Moved to the 4G15 tech forum. Are you sure the fuel pump is working? Are you building fuel pressure? |

I unbolted the connection at the fuel rail and put the line in an empty bottle while cranking the engine for a couple seconds and there is fuel that is coming out. If I'm not building enough pressure will that keep the injectors from opening??? I've had a noid light hooked up to test and haven't got the first pulse on any of the injectors. |

I'd find a way to test the pressure coming out of the pump. Injectors have an operating range for pressure. If they're not getting enough, they may still open, but it may not be enough to make the engine run.

Loosen the throttle cable jacket that is bolted to the back/top of the intake manifold. There needs to be slack on the wire coming out of the jacket. Any lack of slack, will equal constant opening of the throttle blade. Confirm the throttle blade is closing all the way, before proceeding. |

Double check all the vacuum lines and hoses as well, you might be missing one somewhere under the intake. |

yeah just turning the key on will not activate the FP.. it only comes on for a sec when u crank it to prime the system (get fuel to the injectors).. once car is started then it stays on... I cant remember which wire it is but there should be 0 volts to it until the car is running. then the wire should have power. so check the wires for power with key off.... then key on.. and figure out which wire/wires dont have power (other than grounds lol).. then test the one or few remaining wires once car is running (you might need a 3nd test light if it will only run when the 1 is connected.. it very well could be a bad MPI relay.

UPDATE: New MPI Relay and same results... Car will run when red/white wire on mpi is grounded... it idles rough ...kinda lopes but smooths out with some acceleration.... I stepped back to reasses... went to test/jump the fuel pump test wire in engine compartment and no response... but when red/white wire is grounded pump is on. I'm about to give up. ECU problems again??? Frustrating |

Have you found the schematics at lilevo.com/mirage/ ? Click me Some nice fanout sheets there. |

Thanks for the wiring schematic link...I was looking that over and the factory service manual pdf and found that I had been jumping the wrong terminal for the "fuel pump test". I was giving 12v to the Ignition timing adjustment terminal. I feel like an idiot lol After finding the actual fuel pump test terminal it turned the pump on with 12v + jumped to it. Have I done any damage or blown a fuse/fusible link by jumping 12 v to the ignition timing adjustment terminal??? |

Try putting it in manual timing mode after warm-up, and also, if it runs well enough with no check engine lights, then likely you are in the clear. |

Well I've come to the conclusion that I need to try another ECM. I took the cover of the replacement ecm I've been using and under close inspection looks like it had evidence of leaking caps well.... Is it hopeless to try and find a used ECM ?? Lol |
