What is your setup? If it's similar to mine and on MS, I could send you some files I have.

[L28ET Swap Won't Crank Over]

"Crank" and "turn over" usually mean what the starter does.  Rotate the engine's crankshaft.  "Start" or "fire" would be when you get combustion.  "Fully crank over" kind of implies that you heard a few pops, and it tried to start, but didn't.  But it's unclear.  A person would crank the engine, or turn it over, to get it to start or fire.  "Crank over" isn't really a thing.

 

The key to getting any engine to start is getting all of the moving parts moving and actuating in their proper timing.  The valves need to open and close, and the spark needs to happen, when the piston is in the right spot.  Check your cam timing, ignition timing, and whether or not the injectors are opening.  Probably good to know also, 100%, what trigger wheel you have since MS is depending on that to do all of its work.  Garbage in, garbage out.

I guess I should specify that its not starting or firing, I just hear a few pops and it tries to start but doesn't. I've verified the timing of the cam, distributor, and ran the test mode for the injectors. I smell fuel after cranking the engine and I've also verified that the spark corresponds to the advance in megasquirt, 16 degrees, via a timing light. I'm going to check the distributor wheel tonight and will also take some video of the engine.

[L28ET Swap Won't Crank Over]

Hello HybridZ! First time poster, avid reader and researcher of this forum. I'm posting on here for some help as I've hit a roadblock on my L28ET swap into my S30. I've got my motor completely re-assembled and am at the point where I'm trying to turn it over. The motor is getting fuel, spark, RPM signal to megasquirt, etc. but won't fully crank over and idle. I have a feeling its something related to my Megasquirt/TunerStudio settings and was curious if anyone can give me some insight on my settings in relation to my setup. Been doing a lot of searching on here and have been successful for this swap up to this point but again, hitting a roadblock. Alot of the guides I've found show the setup done using older versions of TunerStudio or Megatune and don't quite match the newest program out now. Motor and setup specs are below along with some TunerStudio and board pics. Thanks ahead for any insights you may be able to give me.

Had my Pallnet rail in the car for over a month now with zero issues. Install was a breeze. Definitely recommend!
