Sorry for the intrusion, but I was hoping someone might be able to help me.

I swapped an 87 13b FI motor into an MG. I got it
running (amazing because the wiring is a nightmare
and i thought it was just gonna self destruct when i connected the battery). it
ran several times, but now it just won't. the tach
won't even move and it no longer has any spark (i pulled a plug and checked). i
swapped out both coil assemblies, the resistor
block, the computer and the distributor part. I'm ready to scrap this project

It has good ground to both the motor and the coils, everything seemed to work fine until i saw a leaking coolant line - which i fixed. the only difference is that I left the battery connected for about 1/2 hour (I had been disconnecting it). is there something that could've been burned out? there is 12V going to the coils (black / yellow wires). Also before I would see the tach needle bounce when the starter spun, now nothing (but the needle does still bounce when i first turn the key on) and one other thing is that it ran very rough above 4500 rpms, almost like it wasn't getting enough fuel (i'm running the stock 87 intank pump)


Anyway, do you have any idea what may have gone bad
or where my problem might be? I'm at a complete
loss any any suggestions would be greatly
appreciated.

thanks
