*Mayday* Engine wont start.

Ok I just swapped a Turbo II motor with nice compression 100 on rear and front.
and i triple checked all my connections. and for some reason the car wont start. So i diagnose it and its not the vacuum. so i check fuel. and for some odd reason. Im not getting any fuel. fuel is coming out of the filter but not going to the injectors. but my injectors smell like WD 40 from a friend priming the motor for me. and also there is this black gunk on the injectors i figure its carbon and wd-40. Please assist. I have no idea how to fix fuel problems. Thanks

Switch your Rubber Fuel lines at the engine..(switch the In from the Filter).It sounds to me like they are On in reverse.

You switched over a to motor without you hadn't even inspecting first?

If so, you should expect it to not start or run worth a crap.

Pull everything, check everything, clean everything, replace all the gaskets, vacuum hoses... replace broken stuff.

Then try again.

But you apparently didn't check the injectors... which you should have had cleaned while you had the chance.

I had a similiar problem on my TII swap. It would crank, but not start. I was getting fuel to the injectors, but not into the engine. Turned out to be the ECU that came with the engine. Swapped in the N/A one and it started.
