hey ive finish my swap. harness was done by jordan innovations.

my car cranks and cranks. there is spark,fuel, i can hear the fuel pump prying, pcm is unlocked, vats is removed,

ok so my car starts at times, it idles really good when its on, but i turn it off an then it just cranks and cranks. any ideas?

at first i though it was battery issues. i have wire from alternator to battery and a wire from starter to battery, ground from bat to chassis and one to the block. everything was loose but it would start at times. today i tighten everything and it fire first try turned it off and then cranked it back up and fire right up let it sit for a while, turned it off and did fire up any more just cranks, I'm clueless to what it is

If it's sporadic it sounds like possibly another loose connection. Make sure all your grounds are CLEAN, not just connected.

possibly the starter? i had the same issue on mine and it was fix by replacing the starter.

Figured out the problem, my temp sensor was broken off with the plug ,the 3 leads were still attached to the sensor didn't realize I put it back in the wrong way, so maybe it was making a short or not reading the temp right, so maybe the pcm didn't let it start while hot to protect the engine im guessing? ?
