try the main relay fuse right under you fuse panel next to the hood release that usually goes out first..if it's not that then it's the fuel pump

OEM pump? Could be that relay or a simple fuse in the engine compartment.

main relay sounds like the culprit.

Fu*king fuses...expecially thoes fuses under the hood. the big yellow ones. I went threw 4 of them untill I found out what was wrong.

Yea... I couldn't even imagine it being a fuse... I mean, I was driving the car.. drove it into the garage.. swapped the motor and now it wont start. Do fuses just go bad like that?

What did it end up being??


^fuses do just go out. I've had a couple fuses blow that caused me to go into limp mode. Also I've had the dome light fuse go on a couple cars.

Unfortunately I can't work on the car right now.. it's at a friends house where we are working on the swap... I'd just like to have a good idea of what i'm dealing with tomorrow...

I could be the fuse number 14. ^^
I've rebuilt a whole dizzy before finding it was a stupid fuse.
Look if you have fire. (You said you did swap, so maybe you havea wiring problem)
