yeah the ignitor was disconnected and it still measured 1.2v while the others were 0 volts
the power transistor also has a a short between ground (E) and number 6 collector/output so it looks like thats stuffed.
so it seems ecu and transistor are rooted, coilpacks (both involved in diag process) could all be rooted however im not sure which was the root cause of the problems.
i forgot to mention, when doing the conversion i used the rb25det power transistor (pluged into the r32 wiring and ecu), when i went to start it first, it cranked but did not fire, i realised straight away and swapped it with the stock rb20 r32 item and it fired straight away, ran for ten minutes then started to play up.
