hey i just swapped in my ITR motor into my 99 coupe and i tried to start the car but all it does is crank nothing more. my friend was helping me out and he said there seems to be no spark coming from the spark plug wires. whats the problem?!?

 

check for correct firing order and that all the grounds are nice and tight

 

If it's a fresh swap it never hurts to triple check all connections.

 

firing order is correct! triple checked that **** lol and how many grounds are there exactly?

 

are you guys familiar with the CKF bypass? i didn't do that but would that be a factor?

 

help!

 

check your grounds! or it could be your distributor

 

alright ill get back to you on that

 

i had the map and tps sensor mixed up and thats what prevented my car from starting.

 

new update: i got my dizzy checked today and the dizzy is fine. i checked my spark plug wires and there is a spark. CAR STILL WONT START all it does is crank

 

"how many grounds are there exactly? "

valve cover, transmission, and block i think?

 

anybody help me?

 

Does the fuel pump turn on?

 

is there gas going to the spark plugs? yes there is

 

So you get gas and spark? Did you run the engine before buying it?

 

i just changed my cap so sparks should be flying! but car still not running :[

 

no i didnt run it before buying it but earlier i changed the firing order to see if anything would change and flames came out of my header(my header is not bolted to my cat)

 

I know your problem there is a ground that goes by your thermostat housing that is going to be not put on im almost sure thats it i had the same problem if not e-mail me cobraz240@hotmail.com and i will help you fix the problem

 

how did you check for spark?

you might think you have spark, but you dont. if i was you take a ignition coil frm someone else's distrubutor and try it out, that is what my problem was

 

i checked and the thermostat ground is on. i know there is spark because i took each spark plug wire out and put a spark plug into it and cranked the car and i saw sparks

 

i also do not have the intake air temperature sensor and 2nd o2 sensor plugged in, i dont know if that would matter

 

anyone else?

 

take the fuel regulator out and open the key and see if fuel comes out. It could have fuel pressure but take the regulator out to see if the fuel flows that far the reason I say is because on the fuel rail the stud were the fuel line goes might be diffrent there is 2 types check that for know get back at me and let me know

 

Car is running now! :] the timing was wayyyyy off, thanks everyone for giving me your advice though
