Rx-7 ECU DIY Swap for Testing Purposes - Will She Start?

I was having a problem with the fuel pump not coming on in the Blue Rx-7, so i figured i would try a quick ECU swap to see what would happen.

The good news is the solenoids and gas pump are turning, the bad news? nothings really happening.

But if you own a early Rx-7 you might learn just how easy it is to swap your ECU out to test it. really easy job and could be the reason behind starting issues.

I will leave it on the battery charger for awhile and then probably change the fuel pump and filter, if that doesn't work i'll have to look deeper. if you have any other suggestions fire them away!

thanks for watching.

@jameslinton50 the dizz was locked that way because of how it was put in. i didnt do it myself, but its not a problem.. i hope. its just because it wasnt put in properly.
