Help Please!!! Urgent!!!

i have a 91 celica st that had a blown 4afe in it ... i swapped in the 5afe and everything seemed to be fine ... now the engine would spin over outside of the car (when we tried swapping flywheels)

now the problem is somewhere between there and having it in the car (everythings 100% assembled) ... the motor froze up ... or maybe not the motor .... when we push the clutch in it releases and we can push the car but as soon as we let off the car slams to a halt ... also when we went to crank it up the starter made a clunk noise and then started smoking ... i guess from pushing on a jammed motor ... also we took the starter off thinking it had jammed up the flywheel but no luck ... the motor can not be turned over at all ... but i know its not the motor as everything was working fine before ... the harmonic balancer was taken off for clearance dropping it in ... could it have been tightened down too much? i'm just shooting in the dark here

any ideas? i honestly dont know ... i hate that i've been waiting and now i'm so close but of course ... PROBLEMS

thanks in adance,
troy

Holy crap dude, it takes a lot to freeze a starter up! Take the plugs out and see if it will spin, it could have hydrolocked.

lol we figured it out ... my dad pulled the engine back out and found it ... my grandfather was helping and forgot the flywheel spacer for the automatic tranny (mines manual) ... that little spacer put my whole car in a bind ... anyhow we got the engine back in . .. the 2nd (actually third) time it only took 5 hours from pulling it to cranking it ... we got it started ... just needs a few things .. map sensor hose has no were to plug so i guess i'll go pick up some of those little plastic thing(forget what they're called) and glue one on and hopefully the hose will hook up .. it's blowing that thick smoke from it being too rich ... need to find a cat or a straight pipe ... and find someone to either pull my tint off or get me an inspection sticker ... luckily since my cars pre 95 they only check my gas cap ... i'll have to take out my check engine light lol

i'm guessing without those emissions controls the check engine light is gonna stay on ... idk ... is it possible to take everything off the old one and put it on this one ... the assembly with the thermostat on it has 3 less sensors than on my old one ... that has to be a potential problem

anyideas?

thanks for the help
