Title: HELP!!!!!! engin swap issues
Post by: mike43 on 02 September 2010, 22:30:26

ok well, I had a mint 1996 2.0 but i fried the engin, so i bought an 1998 doner car and fitted the engin from that into it along with the ecu, aerial and chip. The problem is that it wont start, it turns over normally but it is not getting fuel nor is it sparking. Has anny one encounterd this problem before? If anny one could shed some light on this problem it would be grate because its driving me round the bend  :-/ :-/

Sounds to me like an electrical issue, something not connected properly,have you doubled checked all the wiring etc?

Does the EML flash rapidly whilst you crank the engine ??? That is the indicationof immobilisor working to prevent starting

If the EML is flashing then the immobilsor is stopping the engine from starting.

ECU/transducer ring/key chip must all match and talk for the immobilsor to allow the engine to start

Did you swap the immobiliser ECU that clips onto the ignition lock barrel?
This, the chip in the key and the engine ECU must match. Why did you swap the engine and ECU instead of just the engine?
