if you hook b+ to the thick red wire in the 3 pin fuse box plug & the black-orange one, along with a wire to IGSW on small gray body plug (which goes to the ECU), then connect the thick black wire from the 3 pin fuse box plug to the battery that'll crank the car and it should turn on.

that IGSW pin on your ECU that you were just messing with is supposed to get 12v+ with the key in ON and START from:
7.5a "IGN" fuse (lower left kick panel)

that 12v switched power goes from: 7.5a IGN fuse, over to the passenger kick panel to plug IJ2 pin 11, then over to your IGSW pin at the ecu you've just been tinkering with.

It's gonna take more than listening pikachu.

I guess he is just excited to hear his engine to be at least running now. He has gone through a number of motor shops and quite an amount of money and out of exasperation had to tow his car back home at 2 AM in the morning because these shops either fooled him or couldn't do the job right.

So when I went to his place , he was like a kid jumping up and down , reporting to his dad that his engine is running ..lol...
