1.8 won't stay running
 
I've posted this on the other forum but can't get my 92 to stay running after my motor swap. I've checked and it's getting both fuel and spark.

Non-detailed post is non-detailed. So what did you do to put it in the car? What ECU are you running? How long does it run for? Are you ground hooked up right? Was the motor working before you put it in?

I've checked the grounds on it. Its a 92 with the motor out of my 94. The 1.8 was running when it came out. I did a lot of reading before doing the upgrade and the ecu is still stock.

How did you do the swap? What throttle body & coil packs are you using? How long does it stay running for? What does it do?

It was pretty straight forward on pull the 1.6 and putting in the 1.8 using the throttle body, coils and all sensors from the 1.6. It will crank and run for less than two seconds then die. I'm beginning to think the injectors are sticking. I had two complete cars when I did the swap. My 92 had a bad motor but good body and the 94 was just the opposite.

Ground FP to GND in the diagnostic connector and see if that keeps it running.

I turned the fuel pump on it still won't stay running. Gonna recheck the timing to make sure it's all where it belongs.
