double and triple check ur wiring against the how-to's. Keith's is supposed to be especially good. Haven't done wiring yet myself so I can't say. Mines still on the stand awaiting $$.

Pull the top timing cover off, and see if the timing belt is still on. When I first did my swap, I tensioned the new belt too tight, and it came off the cam sprockets. I finally discovered this after re-doing all of the wiring 4 times because I wasn't getting spark....talk about a pita, but I was relieved when I took the top cover off and found the belt not on the sprockets. Put on a new belt, (tensioned acorrding to the fsm this time) and it fired right up

i got it running!...i used a relay like keiths write up but i spiced the 2 ignition wires from the s13 harness together then onto the stock s12 primary transitor..all thats left now is to wire in the z32 maf and the safc
