944S motor swap stalled with a problem
I just installed a 1987 944S (2.5ltr) motor in my 1988 944. Everything seemed to bolt up and connect up fine. Except I went to start it today for the first time and it cranks but the fuel pump doesn't start pumping. I figured my DME relay went south. To check it I bypassed the DME relay by removing it and jumpering pins 30-87-87b. When I do that the fuel pump runs but the car still won't start.
I figured that I had no spark so I checked the coil and I have 12 volts at the #15 and #1 posts. I also have 12 volts at the injector for cylinder #1. I also have 12 volts at the DME relay terminals 30 and 86.
I'm stuck.
Has anyone done this engine swap before and can steer me clear of the bumps?
FYI, before I started any of the work above I checked the timing and it's spot on. I checked and regapped the plugs and they are fine also.
Thanks in advance!
