No Spark

[Koryu]

I have a 90 gts celica, which the motor went in it, so i put a 93 5sfe into it. I took the old distributor out of the 90 5sfe and put it into the new motor. I wasnt getting any spark. So i replaced the distributor with a known good one. No spark. replaced the coil and igniter, no spark still. Im at my whits end atm with whats causing there to be no spark. Any ideas?

Are you getting power to the coil?

[Koryu]

i forgot how to test that, could you please refresh my memory. I have a multimeter and i think its put the ground to a ground and 1 to the power wire going to the coil right?

I don't have a Celica manual, but you should start your analysis there.
Maybe someone here can give you the specs.

[Koryu]

oh ok, well lets say theres no power getting to the coil, would that mean a faulty ecu? or

[MR2Jedi]

Not neccessarily. I would trace the wires back to the source and then perform the next test.
Thats why manuals are good for trouble shooting.
Was the original engine a 5sfe?

[Koryu]

ya the original engine was a 90 5sfe. And i put a 93 5sfe in

I think I would be making sure all the wiring/harness has been reconnected properly.

[Koryu]

I am pretty sure i did, though there is 3 wires that have no plug on the end of it almost as if the plug has come off. But i have nothing for it to go too.

Is the engine grounded? Block and head?

[Koryu]

ya i made sure it was grounded,
