this is the first time ive done the swap and i took my time with everything. basically the car cranks but doesnt start. it is getting fuel but no spark. so i changed the ignitor with one that i know works and still no spark. i took the maf off and tried starting…still nothing.all the cas wiring is good. ive looked around and i think it might be the wiring near the batory. i have the ground from under the fuse box thing hooke dup and the one behind the top of the motor(little green rope like wire) are there any other grounds to check? but i was just seeing if anyone could give me any ideas. thanks

Justin

Check main ignition power wiring by battery and ECU. Also check for bad ignitor, bad coilpacks, bad ECU, shorted harness. Ignitor passes ECU pulse on to coil packs, crank the engine and test with multimeter for ignition voltage pulses at ignitor input and output to isolate source of problem.

thanks. it was the blue/red wire near the battery (coilpack power)
