Re: 2nd gen dsm
no spark in any cyls? check the relays and fuses. also check the ignitor and coil pack. check the wires for shorts also. how do you know there is no spark?

i disconected the wire, from the spark plugs and used a screwdriver against the valve cover to see if it ould spark. then i used a wire with a spark plug in it and held it there lookin for it to spark across the gap. and got nothing. so i changed to the coil pack that was off the old engine i knew worked. still nothing. then i used that connector right next to the coil pack witch i knew worked. still nothing. same results, the car would turn over but would get no spark.

if none of what dave said works look around for a cut wire. I cut one of my on my last swap.
O and when he says CAS we have a crank and a cam angle sensor so make sure both of them are connected and good.
What year is the motor you swapped in and did you use all your old sensors or the ones from it?

Re: 2nd gen dsm
i do have the old coil on it right now. anyone kno how much a new one would cost. and the ignitor?...im still lost as to where thats located. the 4g63 is a motor im trying to learn, i was never good in motor work or electronic work. so im tying to learn haha. thats how and why my motor blew in the first place. had shaft play. sent the t-25 off got the t-28 installed. i had a hard uip and greddy type-s bov. it was dumpin boost at about 14psi. and come to find out the intercooler pipe was loose. i fix it and 22psi all day. and i saved and saved for a boostcontroller. and that week i was going to order it...it went boom. sounded like i threw broke blew up a rod. or something like that.

Re: 2nd gen dsm
the ingnitor sits in the intake by the coil, it says tacho interface or something like that on it, and has about 8-10 wires going to it in a flat plug (kinda like the 2G mas plug).
Coils are pretty expensive. I have an extra one or 2 that you are welcome to try out if you think thats what it is.
What did you do with the old motor? Hopefully you didn't buy a motor that walked.
