Default swap is complete, trouble starting....

I am finally done with my LS swap into my 92 EG. Before I tell my problem here is what I have on the car. 93 LS block (stock) with its wiring harness, 94 gsr transmission with act clutch. The problem is the motor doesn't start up. It's getting fuel and spark because it backfires ever now and then. Any help is appreciated.

Thank you very much.

Miguel V.

so you have fuel and spark, now check for timing and compression.

Have you actually checked for spark, or are you just assuming because its backfiring every once in a while.

Pull a plug and make sure your getting spark.
Then Check your timing marks. Also check your plug wires to make sure they are in the correct order.
Lastly, check compression.

If there was something wrong with those switches then your car would not even crank.

Thanks for your help, i'm going to check if each plug is getting spark....I fixed my timing belt it was a bit loose yesterday and it's tight now.

Are you sure that's the firing order for a b18a1?

Thank you all, I will keep you posted.

I have also noticed my Throttle positioning sensor was not connected and broken. There is only 2 contacts for a connector. The other looks like it broke off or maybe it comes like that, not too sure. I am still only getting fuel for cylinder #4. None of the others are getting fuel. #4 spark plug is black and 1,2, and 3 are still new. All plugs are getting spark. All injectors are getting ground and power.

All help is appreciated.

Might the injectors for 1-3 be clogged?

Since I only have 1 operating injector, I am going to put injector #4 on cylinder #1,2, and 3. Hopefully that's the problem.

Thanks again.

S-18, and everyone else thanks for your help. I switched the injectors yesterday and the motor came to life. Now to add all fluids and let it idle for about 20 minutes to get all the crap out of the motor.

thanks again!
