Okay, swapping a 95ka24de into a 90 s13. Everything is accounted for, parts replaced where needed and such. I am getting spark and fuel. The shop has agreed to let me do work on it, and I have spent the night researching and compiling information and procedures to check on. Right now the car will crank but won't turn over. I have my ideas from searching, but would like some more input. Heres what I've got:

1)The obvious compression test. 2) The shop may have messed up the wiring on the harness to the ecu. There are 8 wires connected, not 5 like there should be. Thats that first thing I am checking in the morning, I will die if this is the problem. 3) Alternator, or alternator fuse 75A. 4) Timing. Take valve cover off, crank to tdc. Check to see if rotor is at 1st position. If this doesnt work, I think the spark may be thrown on the exhaust stroke and not intake, so I will rotate another 180 degrees, pullout and reset the distributor again. 5) Heard that the seals on the fuel injectors may be leaking and causing a pig rich problem, not letting my spark ignite. So I may replace injectors AND seals.

Any more ideas on what may be causing my problem, please get back to me fast, I need the car desperatly. Thanks in advance.

are you 100% proof positive its getting fuel and spark. Ifit has both it should statrt unless your timing is very very jacked up. What made it start running this badly

100% positive of spark and fuel. I pulled the furl rail off and all four injectors fired. I pulled each plug and all four had spark. It never ran this bad, I'm on the last leg of a swap.

your timing has to be off. you got fire and fuel but your lacking proper compression to ignite it. this means your t-chain or dist is out of wack.
