I think you are just having a rebuilt Engine low compression moment..In time the Engine will start and run but you will have to DRIVE it to put some break in miles on it..try checking your compression to see what it is it may take a 1000 miles to bring the Engine up to full compression, are you also using one piece seals, if so ,how much Apex seal end clearance did you allow, if the engine was built too loose it may have too much compression loss .... see what shows up....

The next issue would be to check your fuel supply,including the choke if its there ,also check the would double check your Ign timing and spark plugs as well (they should be new) and clean.. if all is correct it...... WILL run

Glad to hear it. Now without question, get some way to monitor A/F ratios like a wideband or EGT, because you'll want to know when it runs lean. You don't have enough injector so you'll need to keep an eye on it. An NA engine won't really just blow immediately and may run right through a lean condition...you'll just find out when your apex seal springs and corner seal springs are flattened.

So yeah, I've tuned a bridgeport or two in my time...
You have a standalone. He has a stock ECU. Big difference. 460CC primaries are fine with a standalone because you can tune any PW you want at idle. This can't be done with the stock ECU.
Any dyno sheets of your full bridge on stock manifolds? I'm guessing ~220 RWHP.

you'll likely get no help here for the Auto Tranny issues. i've put engines in 2 auto cars, and it takes ALOT to get them to stock working order... with a bridgeport, you may never get it to work correctly again, The TPS is used for auto shift calculations and you likely have to use more throttle at lower rpms. even completely stock, a rebuild needs more throttle until the compression comes up, using more throttle keeps you in a lower gear, and makes the autos downshift what seems like"sooner"..
5 speed it or go home.... or wait for my RX-8 6 speed-->fc thread.. about 2 weeks from now.

thanks but i plan on going 5spd just not yet waiting on taxes, but it was fine before the rebuild the only thing im worried abut is the first time i started her the the tranny cooler line blew off. i caught it soon, but i just added 2qrts to it and hooked it all up. was wondering if to little/much fluid might be the culprit, or maybe the kickdown cable? i know she holds 2.6qrts .
thanks Oliver
thanks Oliver
, i may even release a kit to make it easy(bolt-on) for the noobs and wannabe's
