For starters, use better grammer. It's hard to make out what you're trying to say. I would find out what the error codes mean and fix them. Sometimes when people swap motors over, they do their own wiring and do it wrong or poorly. Make sure it's done correctly. In my experience with cars not running right, it's a vacuum leak or a bad MAFS or MAFS wiring. Also you can check the gap on the plugs because incorrectly gapped plugs won't let the car run too well. You did state .8 but I have no idea what it's supposed to be at. Other things that effect how the engine runs are CAS and the coils. I don't know how to check them if they're working properly, but if you can find an FSM that would help. Also google or yahoo how to's, DIYs, etc... Good luck.

First off, set the base fuel pressure and leave it. If you can make it run by jacking with that, then you are just masking the real problem.

Remove the blitz ecu, install the correct known working RB20 ECU.

Stock injectors?

You didn't do this swap, so you need to basically start over. Is the harness a mess?

Yeah, buy a working ECU. Having a known good working spare ECU is pretty important to have. I have a spare ECU for my car even though I have huge injectors.. for troubleshooting. Same with a cam sensor.

I don't give a shit how bad your grammar is, time for hooked on phonics. Troubleshooting a car over the internet is difficult enough without reading a wall of text.

Sorry to sound like an asshole, I will try to help you out but you have to do your part by at least making it easy to understand.

A friend of mine had a harness professionally done by a reputable company, and even they made mistakes. Nothing is guaranteed!

ya i have no idea which ecu is working correct. i have no idea if the cam sensor works right but when u spin the cas the inj fire and the coils spark. so i think the cas works. when i unplug the maf the car shuts off and it runs the same with the other maf. is it possible i have two bad mafs for sure. i have an ecu pinout and i ohm tested all the wires. there were a lot of wires disconnected i would love to get a wire diagram for the harness and just check it myself. like for instance there is only two wires that go to the dash. there is wires missing other parts of the main ecu plug but without a full diagram its impossible to tell where they go Sad. i am trying to get another 3rd harness but thats not easy eather lol. i would rather sell the car as is for 4500 and just get out of it lol Smile

If you need harness pinouts go to the RB forum on nicoclub.com and I think it's stickied.

I spoke to you in email a few days ago. You didn't mention the ECU situation... I would get the correct ECU first. I can almost guarantee that is part of the issue. Especially if you are running a NA ecu on a FI engine.

These are wrong for your car, yes it does make a difference:
R32-GtS RB20DE Manual M FR 23710-11U00 MEC-R212
R32-GTS4 RB20DET Auto 4WD 23710-04U70 MEC-R117

A RWD RB20DET needs, figure out what exact model year engine you have for best results:
R32-GTSt RB20DET Manual FR 23710-04U01 MEC-R126 27C256 (Big #22 on it) OR
R32-GTSt RB20DET Manual FR 23710-04U00 MEC-R106 27C256
R32-GtSt RB20DET Manual FR 23710-04U02 MEC-R132 27C256

After you get the correct ECU, do the timing, check the vacuum and intercooler piping. Igniter chips generally don't go bad, and if it were bad it wouldn't idle or start.

Also, What is the part number of the MAFS sensor? Since you don't care what ECU you throw into it, I can only assume you probably just grabbed a random MAFs and stuck it in.
