What year engine and trans???? Things you are going to need----donor vin, ecu, wiring harness, both under dash and chassis,probably fuel pump and control module (there were a few different ways of controlling fuel)--------But first item we need to know are what engine and what year the engine/trans are---------did you get the entire donor vehicle?????????or just the take out from the salvage yard???????
start making plans to remove all your STUFF from that shop--------
If you want to continue a bit where its at---an engine needs fuel air and ignition to run-----will the engine trun over???????? check for spark-------check for fuel pressure(fuel pressure does not mean tha a modern engine is getting anything, just that its available) while turning engine spray starting fluid in the intake to see if you get combustion----
This could be as simple as a few ground wires
If you can , get me the id # on the ecu box----------Last edited by jerry clayton; 12-03-2013 at 08:00 AM.
