I had an inhibitor switch that was the high resistance connection. With that removed I am back on it. I have spark on first cyl have not had time to check the rest. I will go round with the multimeter tomorrow and test voltages everwhere. The fuel pumps are crankin, they have good charge. I put a mates computer on and it ran a bit better, but mabey that was just luck. It seems to be getting better as more fuel goes thru. It will splutter and sort of run for 5 to 6 seconds now. but it is nasty rough and really rich. I will get round to testing those coil packs, and tracing a few more wires. I have one plug that I poked thru the fire wall ages ago and know it is meant to go somewhere, but cant find its other end! The colours of the 2 wires dont really appear together on the wiring diagram. Confusing but i will chase it down. I think I will get my mate to bring his ca silvia around and I will just compare till I get it right.

Oh yeah the fellas on nissansilvia.com have hooked me up with a workshop manual on CD which is on its way.

thanks fellas
