Firstly - welcome to the forum 8)

Second - you are not giving us much to work with here , can you give us some more info ??? Are you using the EK harness with the VN ECU harness or have you started from scratch ??? Got fuel pressure ? Can you read fault codes ? etc ....
When you're faced with an unpleasant task that you really don't want to do, sometimes you just have to dig deep down inside and somehow find the patience to wait for someone else to do it for you.

Hi Bema
I'm wondering how you are getting on with your wiring I have just had a look at the "Ultimate Wiring harness" website and not sure where your issue may be as I would assume that you are using the original engine harness which should plug straight into your ECU if I remember rightly there is another plug that comes off of the engine harness that the rest of the body harness should then plug into.
As we said before a little more info and we may be able to help mate.
