Since this is an engine swap there is a very high chance that this is sa wiring problem. So there is either a wiring problem that is corruntly causing the ECU to no show ignition on, or thta ECU has been damaged by a wiring fault in the vehicle. Either way you must try the ECU in a working car to see if the ECU is damaged or not, then you need to resolve the wiring fault. If the fault is not resolved and you replace the ECU, it will be damaged as well. You may should contact Hybrid Racing or Rywire about this.

I'm having the same problem. The car starts up, and runs great on a stock PRC ECU. Once I plug in Kpro (PRB), it reads "Ignitions Off". There is another guy on K20a.org that's having the same problem as well. Tomorrow I'm going to try to uninstall and reinstall Kmanager and see if that fixes it

it was right on top of the valve cover where the stock harness was grounded almost right in the middle of the valve cover
