No spark with 1600 16 valve engine?
Hey guys,
Not sure whether this topic goes in samurai or sidekick put I have recently done an engine swap taking a 1600 16 valve 1991 engine from an Escudo (Sidekick) and stuck it in my sammy.
So I've got the engine in, Everything hooked up, Took out the unnecessarys from the wiring loom and hooked it up.
It all seemed sweet as, Every plug had a home.
We tried to start it up today and the engine will turn over but it wont start running.
We took a spark plug out and pushed it against the earthed engine and it didn't spark until we stopped turning the engine over. and this would keep happening most of the time, no spark until you turn the key back.
I have checked the windings of both coils and the reading seems about right.
The only things I haven't dealt with yet is the speed sensor wire and the engine check wire. So when I turn the key none of the usual lights come on, ie fuel, oil, engine ect.
So do you have any idea what I may have missed or have done wrong with no whole no spark issue?
Cheers, Kent
