To start, I got a S13 shell and I dropped a KA24DE in it. At first the engine wouldn't crank over. Thought it was a bad starter, but it ended up being a grounding problem. Ran a ground from the engine to the body and it turns over fine.

Then the fuel pump was not coming on. I pulled it and tested it, to which it ran fine. Found out that the ECU wasn't grounded well enough; grounded that and fuel pump runs.


Compression and fuel is fine. The problem seems to be that it isn't getting spark. I measure 12 volts at the ignition coil 3 prong plug. Also I measure 12 volts when I put a spark plug cable on it. It I put a spark plug on it, and crank the engine over, I don't get a spark though. What could the problem be? Thanks
