Did you use the original harness with the new s4 injectors?
I got this information from rotary resurrection.. Mazda RX-7(Gen 1 and 2) Fuel injector identification guide (Note that some injectors carry the same part number as others but plug styles and resistances can vary. Low impedance refers to 2-3 ohms, high impedance refers to 12-13 ohms.) Year type impedance plug style plug notch position flow rating color part number •• 84-85 13B NT low square center 680cc orange 195500-0900 •• 86-87 13B NT low square center 460cc red 195500-1350 •• 86-87 13BT low square center 550cc tan 195500-1370 •• 88 13B NT high square offset 460cc purple 195500-1350 •• 88 13BT high square offset 550cc purple 195500-1370 •• 89-91 13B NT high oval center 460cc red 195500-2010 •• 89-91 13BT high oval center 550cc purple 195500-2020 As a side note, replacement fuel injector clips (for wiring harness) can be obtained from auto parts stores to replace broken stock clips. I got the parts from autozone: GP Sorenson part 800-9416 Fuel Injector Connector. I have not found an aftermarket source for oval injector clips. More about injector impedances on 2nd generations: 1986 and 1987 model cars used low impedance(2-3 ohm) injectors. Low impedance injectors have a center notch on the plug. The wiring harness used with LI injectors integrates an injector resistor pack, wired inline between the ECU and injectors(under stock air box) to bump overall load seen at the ECU to 12-13 ohms. 1988 and later models used high impedance injectors. 1988 HI injectors have an offset notch on the plug, and all post 1988 injectors are HI with an oval plug(until 3rd generation side feed injectors which are totally different). The wiring harness on these models deleted the injector resistor pacl, carrying the 12-13 ohm load from the injectors directly to the computer. When performing engine/wiring/injector swaps, the type of setup must be noted and kept together. This is easy as LI injectors will only plug into a harness meant for them(due to the position of the plug notch) and vice versa for HI injectors and harnesses. 88 and post 89 HI injectors and harnesses are not interchangeable. A car that previously ran one type of setup can be changed to the other…keep the injectors and wiring harness together. The ECU will not know the difference. It is also possible, but not necessarily recommended, to use HI injectors on a LI harness and vice versa: •• TO do so you must modify the injectors to fit the opposing wiring harness by taking off the notch on the plug. •• IF using LI injectors on a HI harness, you must splice into the harness, at each injector lead (for a total of 4) 10 ohm/10watt resistors available at radio shack for a couple of bucks. Doesn't matter which wire of the 2 per injector you splice to, polarity isn't an issue here. This bumps the LI resistance up to acceptable load for the ECU to see. •• IF using HI injectors on a LI harness, you must unplug the resistor pack. Next, locate the supply wire in the center of 5 terminals. Bridge jumper wires from this terminal to each of the 4 outlying terminals, which basically completes the circuit without resistors, carrying the HI injectors' 12-13 ohm load directly to the ECU just as a HI harness would. Hope this helps. |

i'm with My5ABaby. can you better describe what the car does when you crank it? also, you said you confirmed fuel and spark, let me first ask where you confirmed your fuel? at the injectors?

Update:
Car starts everytime now. Idles kinda high. Now, when u slowly open Tb it will rev to redline. But, if u try to stab it, it Jus cuts out and backfires. I'm thinking it could be in limp mode. I'm using everything s5. Lim,uim,fuel injectors,front cover,mop,afm,tps,etc. NOTHING is s4. But the harness was butchered to crap. So I fixed everything with butt ![]() |

It could be in your harness or CPS timing, pull it back out and make sure your lined up. I had the same problem with the cps, it was fine under 3200 but anything after that it stumbled and poped. |
