New cpr kit issues

So straight to the point I have a turbo b16a in a 00 gsr. I have a obd2 to obd1 jumper harness. So I hooked up the kit got the coil packs in (currently have bkr7 plugs in it) and I obd1 distributor that was wired to use an obd2 connector as that is what is on the cars harness. Originally when I pinned the wires into the ecu I was getting the power light on the box and when I would crank the car the ignition light would flash but no sync light also it would only crank never sounded like it was trying to actually turn over. So I re pinned the sync wire and accidentally pulled the ign wire out of A22 of the jumper harness (the part that plugs into the ecu). I re pinned the ign wire and put it into the A22 slot went to start the car and now I had the power light and my sync light flashing but no ign light. I cleaned the ground and that didn’t work. I bought 10 new pins and a brand new jumper harness and pinned the wire into A22 and still sync power but no ign light I re pinned this wire about 9 separate time just in case and yes I was using the proper tool. I thought maybe when I was putting the connector into the ecu it was pushing the pin out so I opened the door and “held/“pushed”” the pin and went to start the car and still power sync but no ign light. Was curious if I should try A21 (I know they are the same but idk what else to do). I was thinking maybe the box I have is bad ? I hooked my laptop up and it gave an error signal along the lines of ign signal not detected. Any help or direction would be appreciated

You can try A21, as internally they are the same on the ECU.

Post a picture of the inside of the CPR box.

What is the actual error you are getting when you datalog?

The actual code is 15 IGM ignition output signal. That’s in A21.

Sorry, A22 not A21

If you are getting this code the ECU may be the issue. I would recommend trying with a friend's ECU.

The car was having no issues until I put this kit on. Also, the ignition light was coming on until I accidentally pulled the wire out. I have a new harness too.

You should still try with a different ECU.

I will try. What are you thinking is wrong with the ecu? Just out of curiosity since it has been working until I got the CPR.

These ECU's are over 25 years old and sometimes an ECU just doesn't work well with the CPR.

Oh! That makes sense. Thank you.

After I try a new ecu, what are the next steps?

first see if it works as it should with a different ECU.

Okay, the only ecu i could find to use had the red s300. It didn’t have q32, so I took that s300 out and put y in t in mine. S-Manager is telling me that the USB device isn’t recognized.

I mistyped. Q37.
