Question SAFCII - Will it work without an engine ?????

I spent today wiring my Apexi SAFCII into my ECU and made double sure and triple sure that i connected it all the wires correctly.

I also soldered the wires as the poxy connectors that they want you to use to ensure a good connection were very poor.

Anyway when i had connected it all together, taped it up up and re-connected the battery nothing happened.

It doesnt even light up.......should it at least light up with the ignition on if there is a fault elsewhere ???

Now i have two problems at the moment.......

1. I dont currently have an engine under the bonnet.

2. My 2nd hand APEXi ECU i have not seen working.

or maybe even

3. The SAFC II (new) is faulty.


My question is ....would the ecu and SAFC work without an engine in place ?

Would a faulty ecu prevent the safc from functioning?


Any help is greatly appreciated.
thanks
Chris.

True, i overlooked the fact that the wires under the bonnet would not be earthed

Thanks
