Pull the EGI fuse. Crank it 4-5 times. Put it back in. If it still doesn't start... Pull the spark plugs and clean them off with a wire brush. Spray brake clean on them. Throw them back in. If it still doesn't start, junk it.

from what i remember, sometimes when a motor swap is done, the ecu has to be "reflashed" or set back to defaults. but it has been a while so i dunno

You know I was thinking the same thing. the old ECU is on limp mode and when we put in the one I had, it had a hard start-up and when we managed to get it on, it sounded like the timing was off and it was super rich.

I thought about it last night and realized my TII ecu did the same thing. I put it in after my rebuild and it sounded aweful then after a while it cleared up

The FC ECU has a neural net processor, a learning computer.
