So I got my robtune ej20g ecu threw it in did all the correct wiring. Drove it for about a day, the next day I went out to start it and I get crank but no start. Pulled my spark plugs, looked a little worn so I bought a new set. That didn't fix the problem.seems like my ignitor keeps getting burnt out too. Has anyone had this problem before ?

Moved to electrical and clarified title.
Haven't heard of that happening to anyone before. Have you contacted Rob yet?

Yeah I sent him an email. It's really weird. I drove it fine for an entire day than it wouldn't start the next morning. I tried to start it again, it turned over but struggled. And now the knock light is constantly flashing..

The flickering knock light means you have a code or codes. Did you look it up yet?

Okay well I plugged my diagnostic connectors in the black ones and got 21 and 12 so abnormal signal to starter switch and abnormal voltage to water temp.. I changed my coolant temp sensor about a month ago and I'm not to sure what to do about this starter switch

Did you buy the 4-2 ignition converter w/your EJ20G ECU or DIY the ignitor?

K all my wiring is done fine.. I've got one issue now. Seems to be running on 3 cylinders. I pull the injector clips and the motor changes how it acts on 1 3 and 4 . But 2 just doesn't do anything. I've got brand new spark plugs in, thought it was the injector so I swapped it with another one I had. I checked the injector clip its self to see if I'm getting power and it pulses as it should. I changed all my fuses to see if that would have been the problem. Im really running out of ideas..

Did you get this fixed?
Since you had issues with the igniter previously I'd lean towards something with your ignition system.

I went another route haha.
I swapped my heads for 20k heads and intake manifold
Ran an entire harness from a 20k and now I have it running off a 20k ecu
