IBTgoogle/search, Ive been searching for days, M.net, MT, here, google, haynes manuals, cant find anything thats helped yet.
Ok, so my car has been sitting for months. I bought a cheap engine from a guy in cincy. I used my starter/alternator/coil/CAS/ MAF/fuel rail.
It cranks smoothly, sounds good, I am 98% sure I got all the connections together, and checked all the fuses. All the parts I used from my previous motor were in perfect working order and sat in our storage room for months. There is no spark though, Im not sure what is causing it, or where the source of the problem is. I have had my fair share of rebuilding hondas and old chevy motors, but this is my first time swapping a Miata. I have heard MAF/CAS/and coil can all be source of the problem, which makes sense, but they were all in working order when I removed them. Could they have gone bad just sitting around in a completely dry inside room for absolutely no apparent reason? I am strapped for cash and have run out of options, I cant just start buying parts until it runs. Dad has a friend that says he will tow it to his shop/ work on it monday if I cant get it going by then, but would love to figure it out so I dont feel indebted to him... I really need to get this thing running...
Any helpful input would be appreciated.
