Got everything finished on my KA-T today wired SAFC up according to the N3-b pin out (doesnt turn on) whatever... Then we go to start the car and it wont turn over.. we figured the starter, notice a ground from the coil wasnt plugged in.. (keep in mind this is a dohc swap i used the sohc coil and just swapped plugs greaser told me to do so since i didnt have the dohc coil) when i went to the back of the car i hooked the battery up and saw a lil bit of smoke, unplugged the battery really quick and the ground wire had burnt up from the point we grounded it all the way through the loom over the injectors. What the fuck went wrong? also when i connected the battery i noticed that the ebrake light and seatbelt light came on with no key in the ignition....

HELPPPPPP

im guessing whatever component that wire went to has a short, bust out the fluke and start chasing wires.

ill get you a twin cam coil and well wire that up, that should damn well fix it. If not, double check your wiring at the ECU. Then double, then triple. Its something stupid dont worry.


Also double check on the fuel pump.
