Try and be breif, just fitted a perfectly running engine from a ver2 sti into my ver3 sti, swapped I've inlet and turbo and fitted, the car will not fire up for some reason :-(,

Things I've checked so far, got spark, fuel, maf tested, all wiring connection checked and double checked, both earths connected, timing checked, it spins over fine just won't fire up !!, I'm all out of idea's so hopefully someone can help shed some light on the problem :-).

Hi, have you checked the crankshaft sensor? Immobiliser?

fuel pressere. make sure your crank, cam sensor is the same colour
cam belt timimg, immolizer, switch feeds. it sound something simple to be honest.

Em. Annoying as it is , you have a spark and fuel , so it should start. As said above, it's going to be something simple. And ,like most of us, you'll prob laugh at yourself for missing the problem

Just a thought, and a silly question . You say you have fuel but have you checked it's being delivered ?

Was told if getting spark then crank sensor working ok !!!, primed pump and cranked over engine have good fuel flow, timing checked,immobilizer was removed ages ago, running out of idea's now.

Did you swap the crank sprocket with the timing mark triggers from your old engine to the new one? Have seen different types of those.

Camshaft sensor ?

Double check your earths . If you haven't already done so,remove and clean them

Tracked down the problem, bad batch of fuel , flushed system and tank drop of the good stuff and it fired up
