check all the plugs, ground points, if in doubt dc them make sure they're clean, not corroded or bent pins causing a bad connection.... dfi module, crank sensor, oil switch & main gnd from batt to engine block? you only swapped the motor so it's possibly a bad connection somewhere.... maybe a bad sensor in the donor engine
