Default EWS/413 red label, cut the wire and still no spark or fuel...

Just a quick question. As I understand it, I don't need to worry about existing EWS system in my car with the 413 red label ECU, do I?

If you install the 413 red label, you wont have EWS issues, if you do, cut the ews wire on the chassis side to the DME, that should completely deactivate it. If that doesnt work and you still cant get the starter to run, you can go to the EWS unit itself, take the inlet wire and outlet wire and solder them together to remove EWS completely from the system. The chip and antenna do not have to be removed from the system.

Okay, so, with the EWS wire cut I still have no spark or fuel as far as I can tell. Is there any process for bleeding the fuel lines that needs doing or should it self bleed? Any thing else to look-into for getting spark as well. Are there any other common things/issues to check/look-into for this? I really want this running. lol So close but so far!!

TIA!!

I have a question. If you cut the wire to disable te ews will the factory alarm system still work? And if not can you just buy an after market security system?

I do not believe the facotry alarm and EWS system are tied together in any fashion. They are complete different systems. You might run into an issue if your alarm has starter kill that runs through the EWS start kill but you would have to eliminate this with the EWS disable anyways...
