after swap, not turning over ?!!?!?!, advise Options

[Batman722]

here is the situation...a 94 5s went into a 96. The 96 harness was used and everything matched up except a few things (they were then swapped over from the 96 motor to the 94, i.e. distributer, OBDII, ect. ). Now after everything is all hooked up and put together, it doesn't start up. It cranks, the starter is good, but no vroom.

anything that I should check for specifically ?

any ideas ?

wtf ?

thanks

ok a break in the case! I had a buddy come down from toyota of dartmouth, me helped me look through the car, we traced the power problem all the way back to the ecu, so its either a short in the harness, or a burnt out ecu. which is highly possible because when putting the whole ting back together, my wonderful "wrangler enthusiast" buddy decided to put the ground of the battery under the starter bolt. so im pretty sure that messed some stuff up, we'll see.

check all your fuses, they are there to prevent such things. you can buy a little test light to make sure they work. there is one fuse box in the engine bay, and 2 on the inside of the car

I did use such a light today, but the power is all screwy, my grounds in my ecu have power and such, so im thinking its a crossed line in my harness, its all thats really left, im having a new harness brought in tomorrow to do a quick swap and see if we can get my baby alive again.

but its an oem harness that has never been modified. if it ran before, there shouldnt be anythhing wrong with it. fuses are there to prevent any type of burn outs happening inside of the wires. are you sure you didnt forget to plug a sensor in somewhere?
