well after 7 weeks of pure he#!, we got the car to run, and run strong!!! it turns out that we had a combonation of errors/problems. the night before the engine swap, my son filled his car with fuel at the local supermarket 1 block away from the house, the car went into the garage. the next morning, the engine came out and we installed a new timing belt kit into the jdm motor/trans and started to reinstall the new engine/trans. well, now we find out that the fuel was contaminated with something that smelled like kerosene!!! i know my son, he didn't fill the tank with kero guys honest. we also had a cas sensor that was acting alittle goofy and a misinstalled coil pack. wow! what a crazy 7 weeks, i never thought about checking the fuel! how we figured that out was a friend of mine came over to help, heasked, is the fuel any good? have you tried to light any of the fuel on the ground?? no, we didn't. we placed alittle fuel onto the ground and lit it. wow, when it lit, it smelled like kerosene burning. that is first time i have ever run into that. we drained the tank, cleaned it out, installed a new cas sensor, added fresh fuel to the tank adjusted the coil pack, turned the key, it cracked for few seconds and it went straight to the run mode!! the new jdm motor is very strong. thanks for everyones help on this. hope to see some of you guys in tennesse next year.
