Ok, so i swapped my lsvtec with a d15b7 motor.( I have an EX model coupe...don't know if that matters) I try to start the engine but it just cranks. When initiating the on position in the ignition, a clicking/buzzing noise occurs for a second and most of my lights in the gauge cluster stay on including my CEL(my CEL stays on but does a faint flash every couple seconds)..... Also, I don't hear my fuel pump initiate......Please Please Please help me figure this out!!!!! I am immobile right now and need my car running asap!!! Any suggestions will suffice.

 

well first off check all of your fuses to make sure none of them got shorted out, then check to see if the battery to good, start there and tell us what happens

 

if you just swapped the motor in it's prob gonna take a couple of cranks to get it started depending on how long the motors been sitting. I just swapped in a d16y7 into a 92 hatch the other day. the engine had been sitting for about a month and was pulled from my friends wrecked car. After the swap was done it took about 5 min of pure cranking on and off and flooring the gas pedal to get a spudder of life. A couple cranks later the engine came to life and runs beautifully now. Just keep trying to crank if it sounds like a healthy crank do it on and off giving a 2 min break in between each crank. when it sounds like it's starting to get somewhere give that bitch full throttle and crank

 

check your relay

that doesnt sound too good for the engine. i never heard of anyone doing this before.

 

where's the relay and what do I check for?

 

this is starting to ruin my life .......i forgot to mention, i am not getting any fuel pressure and i don't hear the fuel pump initiating.....please, any other help would be greatly appreciated.....i checked the battery, the fuses in the engine bay compartment, and most but not all of the fuses under the dash, is there any specific fuse i should check under the dash?

Only thing I haven't done was switch ecu's because i don't have a spare............

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!
