I did an engine swap (from 90sohc to 93sohc both autos) everything but injector plugs went OK ...plugs are diff on 93 so I got wiring harness from 93 and now I cant get it to start... could it be the ecu ...I'm getting spark but when I pull the plug its dry...so Iam not getting fuel...to the injectors ...Right ?? I don't know ...Iam on a budget and cant figure this out its Ive been without a car for over 2 1/2 mo. Any info would help.... Thanks .....endlessmaxima

Hi,

You could have put the older intake manifold on it - hence being like stock.

 

Now it can be many things, check if you have spark, fuel, air, every electrical sensors are plugged and all the vacuum are there.

 

I wouldn't suggest starting to change parts, because if you put a defective one it will be very hard to find which one it is.

I'm getting spark but when I pull the plug its dry, So I know its a fuel issue. I'm thinking its the ecu not sending the correct pulses .... What I want to know since I've put in a 93 motor in should I put in a 93 ecu. As for the Intake they were the same ...the only prob Ive had is the Injector plug on a 90 is some what square... and on a 93 they are more round or oval... Is it possible that the ecu that I have now (90ecu) could it be stuck in a Dino. mode and not working properly ...and is there a way to reset it ... other then the obvious dis conn. batt. And I agree Dayz I don't want to buy an array of electrical parts with no chance in taking them back. Wonder if I should have just went and bought a running car. By the time I get this one running Ill have over 600.+ in just motor swap not counting labor or over all time invested in it ... Any suggestions Dayz ...keep them coming I feel like it could be something simple ..that I may be overlooking ..... Thanks again ,

enlessmaxima ...probs...haha

Fuel should be very easy to check: Fuel pump working- Injectors working.Check if you got both. Get yourself the wiring diagram for both and see if there is a difference.

 

Yes, ECUs are different on top of my head. Injectors are also different. Try with a junkyard ECU, but since you are going the cheap route and you knew everything was working prior to the engine change, why don't you put back the old Intake manifold?

 

I believe the SOHC Engine changed in 1992, probably different Intake.
