hi i just swapped in a KA24DE motor out of a 97' 240sx into my 89 240sx coupe.Everything is hooked up, and for some reason it will not spark,it cranks over just wont spark so it obviously will not start.I think it may be the distributor or a bad ecu.I was wondering how i could check these things to find out what the real problem is so i can get it fixed.Thanks a lot.

Check your distributor connector closely. Make sure you ignition module is plugged in as well.

Ok so we didnt have all the grounds plugged in, stupid mistake, but it still wont start.I think it may be timing, but i dont see why, i did the timing exactly how i have before, and before i didnt have any problems with it.
