Ill give a bit of background info first....
Donor Car - 91 MK3 Na Auto swapped to 5spd and 7mgte ran and drove before we pulled the motor/tranny
Receiver - 90 MK3 5spd Turbo shell has everything attached just needed engine and tranny thats been sitting for maybe a couple of years.
The motor ran nicely before being pulled. We dropped it in and everything was connected and bolted up. Using an auto ecu (since it was on the donor car)
This is the 1st time I am actually doing a swap myself (with help) so I am still learning.
I did a pass and everything seems to be connected properly, all the vacuum lines, fuel lines, piping ect ect ect. The battery is low so i jumped it with my other car and it cranks n sounds strong but it wont start. I kind of smell gas but not 100%. Everything else seems to work... windows, interior lights, horn, headlights, dash lights when the key is turned. I was thinking about putting 2 more gallons of gas in the car???? Ecu clicks when the key is turned, does not feel hot or anything doesnt smell like its burning.
I dont have a scanner to check codes so thats out.... Are theyre any things to do and look for? From what I researched I hear guys say check the CPS, check spark plugs to see if there is spark, and fuel. I was thinking of taking off the fuel line to see if any gas comes out. Like i said this car was sitting for years so it should be bone dry. Timing should be fine we did not touch it while doing the swap. No fuses are blown. My friend is the 7m expert but like I said, I rather do it myself so I can learn.
THANKS
