i've been posting this all week and haven't had any godd suggestions. does ne one know if a disconnected ground would cause a b16a from starting? How man grounds are there, and where are they?.. My swap is done but won't start. Turns over but won't start (no fuel or spark). Fuel pump doesn't prime (no voltage goin to pump), no spark. Gonna check main relay, Not getting any errors, but check engine light stays on.. Light doesn't even recycle. Just stays on. Could low oil pressure cause this?

 

YES! bad engine/tranny grounds could cause this
there are 2
one on the transmission
one on the valve cover.
good luck

edit: make sure your battery neg. cable has a good clean connection too.

There is also a ground that is part of the engine wiring harness, and attaches to the engine at the thermostat housing. It is well hidden behind where the upper rad hose connects to the block, and easily missed. It attaches with a 10mm headed bolt, and has several key ground connections that are dependant upon its tight, clean attachment.

have oyu checked your timing?

 

timing wouldnt cause no fuel.

 

check your main relay. it could be a bad ground because a bad ground can cause all sorts of problems, but it sounds more like your relay to me.

whats your setup btw?? that might help
