thanks for your help.

the car ran fine on all 4 cyls when i had it going. the engine is from a 95 180sx on a 91 coupe. I've done swaps on s13s before. im not all that new to this... but i am STILL learning the trade of the swap. The only thing thats not connected right now is the power steering pump and the ac. i havent been able to take a volt meter and check the voltage. so far i've doubled checked the wiring harness plugs by the battery terminals, and made sure everything is where it should be. i checked with the ca18det FSM and the s14 sr20det fsm and both lead me back to the ignition/fuel. im getting fuel... but the spark? only on the first cylinder. just remember everything was runnning fine.. the spark plugs are new. they arent gaped, but is that whats making it not spark on all 4 cyls? after my car died in the road, i want getting any new spark. after soldering the harness together (instead of twist and tape) i regained just one spark. i'm thinking it has somthing to do witht that BLUE/RED mated to the RED.

thanks again for your help. BTW, i just ran a power line from the battery to the fuel pump so i could turn it on any time i wanted to. this just caused the 10 fuse to blow all the time. i'm not doping this no more.
