hey
i just finsihed my de swap and now it wont start. it cranks pretty strong but it wont completely start. i took out the fuel lines and when i tried to crank it again it wouldnt pump out gas. Then, my neighbor took out his timing gun and checked if the coil had sparks and it didnt. I had another coil and it didnt have a spark either. How can two coils be bad? Ive had the worst luck with the swap and this caps it. Can anyone help? thanks

So no spark?
I know this sounds stupid but did you check the fuses? (dont mean to insult you but this has happened to me a few times)

Iv'e also done the following genius manuevers.
Ecu Plugged in?
Grounds Attached?
Relays Plugged in?
Battery Charged?
Distributor Attached?

If the component isn't working trace back to the source of the power.

First & foremost, what year is your car. I didn't see it in your original post. Since you mentioned that you aren't getting any fuel to your injectors AND no spark to your plugs, then chances are you probably didn't connect one of the ground wires properly, or you have a bad connection/connector at one of your ground wires. Both the fuel pump and distributor need a proper ground connection to complete the electrical circuit that runs the pump & distributor.
On a early model production year 95's, both the fuel pump AND the distributor use the engine block as a ground point. That ground point is located towards the rear of the left side of the engine block around where the Oxygen sensor is located. There is also a secondary ground wire that connects from the engine block to the firewall. Make sure both those wires are connected. Your car should start once you get all your ground wires properly connected and grounded.
Anyhow, hope this helps...good luck!!
