<DIV>This car will not run after a re-man engine was installed. I have replaced the P.C.M and checked all power and grounds to computer andon theengine block. I have had the ignition module tested and it works. I have also replaced the coil packs. The car acts like it is seriousley out of time. So I checked cam timing and its right on. Compression is 160. I put a noid light on theinjector wire harness and itis flashing. Checked fuel pressure it is 48 PSI and Ihave scanned all sensors on the engine with a genisis, everything seems to be within range. The only sensor that wasn't changing values is the crank sensor. It is supposed to have 0-2 advance-retardbut not sure if it has to run to get that. Scanner info says 0-2 and its at 0. But the veichle has not run. CanI be fighting a cam or crank sensor? No codes arepresent or in history. Thank you for your time and look forward to hearing from you.</DIV>
<DIV>Thank you, Mark</DIV>

so it just wont fire?

Yes it hasfire. It does turn over (starter engages and cranks the engine around)but won't fire over to start. Can not recieve codes due to not running just for a minute.
<DIV id=post_message_4507071>Yes I do have spark and the modual checked. There is an RPM reading when cranking, I beleve it is arround 123. The battery is fully charged and it seems to be turning over fine. The starter labors a little when the engine backfires through the intake. It seems like a timing issue. And I have tried the only two fireing order for the 3.8. I had forgot to mention that it is getting a fair amount of fuel. Should I try another set of plugs? They are pretty black. I'm not to sure of what exactly I am missing here?
Hope to hear back from you. Thanks again.</DIV>
