Have a AEM 30-6620 series 2 for my 300zx tt 1990 . Down loaded software from AEM web site . Car won't start , don't hear fuel pump . Did try set wizard . Don't have a air temp or map yet , car didn't come with them . Wanted to see what i needed to get it started .Thank you

Before starting the engine, verify that the fuel pump runs for a couple of seconds when the key is turned on and there is sufficient pressure at the fuel rail. If a MAP sensor is installed, check that the Engine Load indicates something near atmospheric pressure (approximately 101kPa or 0 PSI at sea level) with the key on and engine off. Press the throttle and verify that the ‘Throttle’ channel responds but the Engine Load channel continues to measure atmospheric pressure correctly.

You can perform component test to check whether the circuit connection is correct. fuel pump . injector, ignition coil etc.

The following part is from 30-6620 Series 2 Plug & Play EMS manual.

5) Troubleshooting an engine that will not start a) Double-check all the basics first… engines need air, fuel, compression, and a correctly-timed spark event. If any of these are lacking, we suggest checking simple things first. Depending on the symptoms, it may be best to inspect fuses, sufficient battery voltage, properly mated wiring connectors, spark using a timing light or by removing the spark plug, wiring continuity tests, measure ECU pinout voltages, replace recently-added or untested components with known-good spares. Check that all EMS sensor inputs measure realistic temperature and/or pressure values. b) If the EMS is not firing the coils or injectors at all, open the Start tab and look for the ‘Stat Sync’d’ channel to turn ON when cranking. This indicates that the EMS has detected the expected cam and crank signals; if Stat Sync’d does not turn on, monitor the Crank Tooth Period and T2PER channels which indicate the time between pulses on the Crank and T2 (Cam) signals. Both of these channels should respond when the engine is cranking, if either signal is not being detected or measuring an incorrect number of pulses per engine cycle the EMS will not fire the coils or injectors. c) If the Engine Load changes when the throttle is pressed this usually indicates that there is a problem with the MAP sensor wiring or software calibration (when the EMS detects that the MAP Volts are above or below the min/max limits it will run in a failsafe mode using the TPS-to-Load table to generate an artificial Engine Load signal using the Throttle input). This may allow the engine to sputter or start but not continue running properly.

good luck.
