I blew up my ka-e, and since i had never done a swap before i decided to go with another KA-e. i saw the engine run before it was pulled from the donor car, so i know it runs.

While doing the swap i deleted all my emissions stuff. I went to start the car and it will tun over but wont start. I have spark, and i have fuel i think. Checked timing, it was good. idk what else it could be. a bad ground? there are 2 plugs on the passenger side of the motor that i cant figure out where they go, But all the essentials are hooked up. What should i check next?

pictures of plugs would be nice. also check to see if plugs are fouled/flooded=no spark or bad spark. also check you getting gas, you know all the basics first.

I replaced the plugs with the engine, they look fine but i will post pics tomorrow. I'm getting gas, at least to the fuel rail. I had 2 sets of injectors so i swapped them for the ones i know were working. I've been troubleshooting for days.

Check your white dash plug. There is a orange ign wire that gets 12v when cranking, it fires the injectors in a certain order, if that isn't gettin power then it will not start by cranking. Or u can spray carb cleaner in the tb, if it starts and runs fine that will also let u know its the orange ign wire.
