Well, we just swapped engines (Still standard D15b2 Engine, just changed block) and I've been running it, have gone about 50-60 miles on it so far, and last night we went right up the street to the store, when we were done we couldn't start it back up. Turns but no catching. We did the screw driver trick to see if there was spark and there was nothing, any ideas?


(When driving up the gas/ power felt weird, didn't seem to accelerate right, could just be me though)

 

Check your grounds, there should be 4 of them. Thermostat, battery to chassis, tranny and valve cover to chassis. Correct me if I'm wrong someone. But i know there should be 4.

you got it right, what i did for the negative terminal ground was grounded it to the trans and then ran another to the chassis. worked perfect, then valve cover to chassis and thermostat housing are the same

 

Anything else possibly, Its fuel injected but even after turning the key so many times I never smelt any gas.

 

u check the fuel pump? or maybe main relay

 

I'll add that to the list of things to check, the person who installed the engine is comming later to day to look at it, they believe it may be a blown head.
