Hi, 1st of all thanks for reading this post

I've done a simple KA24DE to KA24DE direct swap over. Both motor is from the 1995 SE 240sx, this model does not have external Ingitor, coil, so i'm guessing it's build in to the distributor. But anyways, I'm pretty sure i'm getting fuel but i'm getting no spark what soever, i've pull the plugs and try to crank the engine to see and viola "no sparks" The plug does not appear wet. I've checked all the harness, connectors, fuses and everything is good. The distributor on the new KA motor have never been touched. So i was expecting just dropping the motor in, plug everything in and start, but so far no luck yet. Any input will be appreciated!

Thanks in advance

Sounds like the old distributor is bad OR you have overlooked something.

Swapped it out with another distributor and still nothing. The distributor harness does not have power even when cranking the car. Nissan factory manuel does not provide enough informations.

Sure it does. It provides everything you need to know about the wiring. Its in the foldout in the back. Its an entire wiring schematic of your car.

Odd. I've downloaded the '95 S14 one and strangely enough, it has it. Its even titled FOLDOUT.

Could there be a relay which control the spark and fuel? The car just cranks and cranks forever, i've set the timing mark on o degree on compression stork TDC, put the distributor in as per service manual, still nada. Check all the grounds. Check all the fuses, ran the power test from the ECU to distributor, there is power.. what else am i missing? Like i said, I only did a KA to KA swap, and the new KA would not start up, it will only crank, i have no spark at all. please help

hmm, check your ignition coil and also trace the wiring from it. Try that and then get back to me. Throwing any codes? If your light isn't on, check anyway.
