I just ran into a similar problem myself. Put my old motor in, turns over, gets spark, but can't pull the plugs (until I get the tool again) to see if they are wt or not.

Question: will LS "plug" work with the B16 "spark plugs". I am referring to the peice that you plug on top of the spark plugs.

Wish you luck

have you mb tested the voltage on the injectors? are they bad? look in the BOOK. it should tell you the specs. and maybe some other reasons for your problem. maybe the wires are crossed?

My friend had the same prob with his B16 after swapping it in, make sure that you have your plugs near your shock tower plugged in on the passenger wiring harness.

if i unplug one of my injector connectors and either turn the iginition on or crank the car, is one of the wire on the clip supposed to have 12v? i tried poking them with my test light but neither wires had 12v.

are they supposed to? if so i guess thats my problem then. i changed my relay under the dash aswell and still same problem.

thanks alot so far for the great input

yes, but the work off of a ground pulse, put the positive if the volt meter to the battery and the ground on the negative of the injector. you should get a voltage pulse when you crank the engine. a lot of people forget how an injector really works.

got some good news, it finally started

the problem was that some wires came out of the plug on the engine harness, the plug on the drivers side that looks like nothing goes into it but if you take it apart you will see that theres a clip that connects all of the wires in that connector together (8 wires, i had only 5 conected)

so problem solved i guess haha, now i just have to get a exhaust made and get it tunned and were set
