Yet another problem for me..ok most of you know I just swapped an S5 turbo into my 88. I started it finally with out any leaks or any signs of a problem. Let it idle for about 10-15 minutes and double check everything and it seemed fine, so I decided to take it for a test drive. As soon as I got down the end of my driveway, my car just died. I thought I stalled it or something so I tried restarting it. All it would do was crank, I thought maybe it flooded for some odd reason so I pulled the EGI fuse and did all that stuff and it still wouldn't start, only cranked. Anyone have any ideas as to what this may be?

where did you get the s5 motor, and was it rebuilt before installation? was the oil metering pump working? Did you try a compression check yet? Did you double check the electrical stuff?

Make sure to triple check EVERYTHING.

When I swapped my motors I forgot to plug my oil cooler back in, plug the ground wire in, and there was a big vac leak that caused my car to do die when I would come to a stop, but I guess you're car just died and won't start back up at all?

Check plug wires, and all vac lines, fuel lines, intake, wires only thing you can really do...

No no, I just swaped an s5 TURBO & MANIFOLD into my car Same year engine, just streetport engine from Atkins Rotary.. I have check the oil lines and coolant lines and they are fine..I check all the connections and seems ok..could lack of a fluid be the case maybe?
