no shut off.

swapped all those harness on a no start? Are you insane?

No start is simple.

Either no fuel or spark. No fuel means the fuel pump not coming online if you have no pressure.
No spark, was the coil pack grounded correctly. Was the CPS installed according to the tsrm.

Sounds like you got more than you can chew.

Good luck as you WILL be needing it.

Replace with a working ecu.

Problem is. With all the swapping you did, I myself would not loan out a working ecu because one crossed wire and insta-fry the TCCS. =(

You are almost to the point where it will be cheaper (time and part wise) to wire in a full standalone.
