The starter wont even turn?

You need more than fuel to start an engine. Spark and compression are needed too. Do you have those?

Wannabe JDM

im pretty sure im getting compression. but im nit sure if im getting spark or not.

EE_Chris

I'm not sure if you have spark either...that's why I asked if you did. No sense in telling me you don't know...just make it happen.

You really need to provide more info. USA doesn't have EK's. We have EJ's. On top of that, we have different models of EJ's - which do you own? When you did the swap, what ECU did you use? Did you use your stock wiring harness and modified it as needed? Did you use a conversion harness?

ok heres the low down.

i have a 97 ej6 (d16y7) obd2a.
im using the ITRs p73 ecu. an i just modified the wiring harness from the first motor.

the motor was origionaly in a 94 del sol si. and it worked in there. i pulled the motor and rewired the dizzy for obd2 (it was an obd2 ecu rewired for ond1) it was a color for color match.

i just pulled the spark plugs to find out of those were good. they werent. so i bought new ones. droped em in and im not getting combustion.

this is really weird sence the motor worked when i pulled it out of the del sol.

pull a plug and set it on top of your distributor and turn the motor over.....see if your getting spark to your plugs, check all your sensors make sure they are all plugged to the right plug, sounds to simple to miss but in a swap you can miss tons i just went threw all this last sat.
