OK I just swapped my KA24DE in and got it running right about two days ago, it drove fine sometimes it would sputter but then today it would die and stop lights and hesitate to start back up. Later on it would die when I would put it in gear or sometimes just push in the clutch and take a while to start. Then a little later it will almost never start it will sometimes buts it hard to do and I have to rev the crap out of it to keep it running otherwise it just dies. Any body have any ideas? I thought at first it was the idle sensor but I dont know.

did you try doing a complete tune up and check compression and make sure you have enough fuel pressure?

No but it would have ran fine before if I did need it wouldn't it?

check the FSM and test out the MAF and make sure fuel pump is putting out enough pressure sounds like u got a fuel / spark problem

The fuel pump and filter are new and I have good fuel and used starter fluid and It did not work. I took out sparks no spark the all look kinda bad they are white and crumbly looking. Could I just need new plugs or whole dizzy? Is there any way to check?
