Engine swap,, crank no fire
Just put replacement engine in,, went to turn it over,, no spark so changed the crank sensor left plug out with lead on and we have spark,,
But still will not fire,, removed spark plug again and seemed wet with fuel,, Is this just case of bad spark plus having weak spark?

Have you used the same sprockets that was on your old engine if its got av heads ie sti newage type then they are differant from wrx type and. Make shore all the teeth are on the the crankshaft sprocket they break easly you just need one missing and it wont fire up

Pull all the plugs. clean and dry them. Crank the engine a good few times with no plugs in it and the crank sensor disconnected to expell excess fuel. Put it all ogether and try again
