Re: No Start on Crank After Motor Swap

It seems to be trying to run on the starting fluid, but it isn't quite getting the job done. After checking the injectors, I can confirm that they are not firing. It appears that the vacuum fuel regulator is not allowing any gasoline to get through.

Re: No Start on Crank After Motor Swap

It only backfired once while I was beginning it on starter fulid, so that's good. When cranking, I withdrew the plugs and saw that they were all sparking.

Re: No Start on Crank After Motor Swap

Sure, I'll take a shot at getting a new battery. The car has only been unplugged for a week. There ought to have been little alteration. What a relief!

Re: Instead of that, why not get a Ferrari?

Would you rather invest $$$ on a car to drive for commuting, having pleasure, knowing it can outpace 99.99% of cars on the road, and for maintenance? Do you want to impress people with a beautiful trophy automobile but worry about the expense, insurance, and upkeep of keeping it in pristine condition?
