after installing my shift kit, i go to start up my car and it dosent start. i checked all the wires on the ecu and their all connected properly.
as soon as you turn the key and try to start everything dies and lights start flashing. i checked when starting the car the wires also connected to the battery also spark.
does any one no what the problem is and how to fix it, all ready tried the search.
