Vr engine change problems

did you pull the harness out of the firewall theres one plug inside under the dash by the ecu that lots of people dont plug in

 

you could give us more info about what you've done. Might get some of the experts here interested in helping.
For instance: did you put the replacement engine in complete as it was including the CAS, injectors etc that was on it? Or did you use some parts off your old motor? What's the status of the new motor? 2nd hand, 2nd hand n known to be running, re-built etc etc.
Bump your query up to the top and see if you can get some Friday night action! Unless you've got it running in the last 24 hours. In which case you can let us know how clever you've been.......

 

My be crank angle sensor I've just had same problem

 

I have vp witch won't start . If turn the key a few times to pump a bit of fuel threw it will start for 2 secs and then die ? Any ideas and yes it has fuel .

 

yes, crank angle sensor (CAS) sounds a likely culprit, esp if you (ASSM) have confirmed there's no spark and your old coil pack was known to be working.

 

Getting the harmonic balancer (pulley) off can be difficult but I've read tips on doing it on this site so do a search and see what you can find. I think you're on the right track altho if your old CAS looks at all dodgy I would buy a newie rather than have to re-do the job. Also check out the relative condition of the 2 HB and put the best one on.
Keep us posted

 

Probably not CAS as it starts when spraying something into the manifold.
Double check you have the fuel lines connected correctly and not arse about

Check for fault codes, easier than flying blind

 

check oil pressure switch (plugged in or faulty), its the only thing between the power feed and ur fuel pump.

 

I bet you have the fuel lines on backwards. I admit, I made that mistake once

 

I did think that but he did say that he checked and had no spark. Conflicting information there.

 

yes you will need a puller to get the balancer off.

 

yep and 3X 1/2" unf bolts, dont cheap out on the puller .....this is the one I Finally ended up with Stanley Harmonic Balancer Puller Set - 13 Piece - Supercheap Auto Australia the others ended up in the bin

 

but have you checked for fault code?

had the same problem with my mates vr ute converted to ecotec, turned out he had not clipped all the injector plugs down properly and had forgotten to take the plastic seal of the feed line of hes new fuel pump.
