Oh greeze, man, id prefer to crash on a motorcycle........😏

We're not done just yet. 1 - Ok. So I get from what you're saying. You still do not hear the Fuel Pump prime at switch on? 2 - Can you elaborate as to what isn't plugged in? Apart from the obvious light's. "the fuel pump runs continuously with the plug bridged. (didn’t hook up fuel line since it was just a test for the pump. could be why it’s running continuously. not sure.)" That's exactly what should happen when bypassing the FCR! Fuel Pump runs continuously. 3 - Verify good continuity of the Brown/Black wire(FCR control wire) from the FCR to A21 (or possibly B18?) at the ECM. Here's a test for the ECM and Fi Light. Refer to chapter 5 in the Service Manual pages 5-7 to 5-8. 4 - Add a shorting link to the the ECM Service Check Connector as if you wanted to retrieve any historical Fault Codes. With Sidestand down and kill switch to RUN. Switch On Ignition. Does the Fi Light come On or flash a code? It should do one or the other. 5 - Looking at your photo again and seeing the ECM exposed as it is. Do a close inspection for any impact damage, are there any physical signs of cracks, on the ECM or its connectors? 6 - Check the wiring of the Ignition Switch. Does it have a pink wire and a diode mounted on the underneath of the switch like the photo attached? This diode and wire performs an ECM enabled and security function. 7 - And one Final Test, the end is near! Voltages measurement, Red meter lead to Battery Positive. Black lead to the Brown/Black wire for the FCR. Everything plugged in. Kill Switch to RUN, with Ignition to On, DO YOU MEASURE 12V FOR APPROXIMATELY 2 TO 3 SECONDS AT SWITCH ON? Let's know how you get on with the above questions and tests. All 7 of them Please! This should determine if you do have a dud ECM.

I did it again, now I have a low km 1998 to keep the 2000 company. That's two in the garage now but is my 4th in total.
