Ok I'm working on my friends car and we are not 100% sure about the condition of the motor that he bought. The guy said he had a BHG and replaced the HG and before putting it back in the car he found a deal on a 1JZ and decided to go with it. Well we know that the motor had been sittin up for quite a while before he sold it to my friend. We are trying to hook up just the necessities for the engine to run. I thought we had all of them hooked up but apparently not. We did find a broken knock sensor wire could that be the cause?
What is required to make run?

Engine needs air, fuel and spark to run..... if it's missing some ground wires, that may cause an issue.

I do believe I am missing one ground on the intake side. It broke when we pulled the NA engine out. I will fix the broken wire on the knock sensor and also fix the ground and see if that helps. We are also suspecting that fuel may not be getting to the cylinders. However, there is ample fuel and fuel pressure from the bottom bango bolt. I will also check the banjo on the fuel rail itself. We will keep you updated.

Yes, it will turn over but will not start. I am also suspecting possibly the CPS is not timed correctly b/c according to the TSRM, incorrect CPS timing could cause it to not start. What other possibilities should we consider? Thanks for your help guys/gals.
Ok well we thought we had fuel pressure but we don't. I don't hear the pump running and when I jump B+ and FP it arcs but I still don't get any fuel. Does that mean its a bad pump? All grounds are now hooked up and the EFI fuse is good. Any ideas?

if you are sure you got power and ground going to fuel pump and it is not pumping fuel, and you know there is good fuel in tank.. take a rubber mallet and bang on bottom of tank and hope for best...
