how about the computer?
dont understand your question lol
battery cable goes from battery, to the starter motor. there should also be another wire attached to the same terminal on your starter that supplies power to the rest of the car

haha, I dont think my comment explains how to wire up an ECU at all :lol:
Is this for the Z18ET? I have wired one up before, and am going to give a guy a hand up north island in a week doing that engine.
I have wiring diagrams if you need them

ok.....so your running a Z18ET, on a CA18 ecu, with ca18 loom?
did you do this yourself? or do you have haydens old motor from Dunedin? If so, you wont need a full diagram, there should just be a point in the loom with 6 or so wires hanging out near the ecu, hopefully Hayden kept them labelled or something (I did the loom for him)
