Default Car won't start. Starting to **** me off.

I just put a new motor in my car and went to go start it and it cranks but doesn't run. It has no spark and no fuel. When you turn the key on the pump doesn't prime or anything. I have power going into the coil but no spark coming out. NEED HELP ASAP. Thanks.

what year and trim (ex, lx, dx)? what motor did you put in? jdm, usdm, vtec, non vtec? does this have an external coil? about the fuel pump, when you crank the engine did you open the valve on the fuel rail to ckeck for fuel pressure?

Go back and check all of your power and ground connections. Make sure they are clean and tight.



and don't forget the engine harness ground that connects to the drivers side end of the intake plenum.



Just for starters......

check the main relay and also see if there is power and ground at your fuel pump, if you do have power and ground at your pump, your pump is fried

masterkill had good advice, same situation happened to me one time, I bought a dizzy off ebay and it would click into the stock engine harness however the connection wasnt clean. The plastic casing wouldnt allow all the pins to make good solid contact (crappy egay design). I had to modify the harness and havent had a prob since.

may not be your issue.... depending on the condition, age, and handling of the dizzy during the swap, its possible it couldve been damaged.

x2 on checking the pressure at the rail and testing for current at the pump itself. if the power is there. then pump no bueno

A good multi meter is your friend in this situation... GL
