Recently put my CA18DET back in my 89 coupe. It ran before in another coupe I had and I took it out when I got this coupe. the motor was rebuilt, fogged and stored for the past few months. I just put it in the other night and wired it up. The wiring is correct. I used my multimeter and tested all the circuits. I have fuel, I have spark. The base timing is correct. It just wont start!Am I missing something? The A/C wiring is not ocnnected because there is no A/C and that is all that was left out. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Did it turn freely before you put it in the 2nd car? I know you said your wiring is right but it sounds like it isn't

I just had to LOL at this post. I'm sure it's something small that your just missing. Double check everything and when you find it your going to want to yourself.
