you have fuel and no spark then? are you running a distributor setup or dual plug setup on that turbo motor?

you said you had 38psi at the rail, so you have fuel? i'm confused on this part. you said you put in a new ignition control module, did you make sure and put all 3 screws back in mounting it to the intake manifold? or do you have it mounted somewhere else and grounded? If the ICM isn't grounded properly you wont get spark.

yes 38 at the rail but the injectors arent pulsing which means no fuel being sprayed into the engine.. the icm is moved but on a piece on 1/4 inch aluminum with 2, 8 gauge grounds going to it, it has been workin like that for 6 month now no intercooler makes your intake manifold very hot

just out of curiosity, what part of the harness burnt, and was it because of exhaust heat or did something short on something?

the part of the harness that goes across the back of the motor on the trans got pinched when i put the motor back in between the head and firewall and melted in to but its took 3 months for me to figure it out and by then it was too late so thats how that happened
