3sgte engine in car. now wont start! Options

[toyotacrazy]

I started my swap last night! Got the engine out and the 3sgte mounted onto the 5s-fe trans. within about 4 hours. The motor mount next to the timing cover had to be modified to fit correctly. Ive heard before its a direct fit for the 5s-fe motor mounts. Its not! Only one bolt lines up without modifications. I took the mount to the grinding wheel and managed to make it fit well. If anybody wants pics give me your e-mail and Ill send you some pics of the mount. Hope this will better prepare some of the future swappers! later-

He is using the 5SFE's S54 transmission. Not a modified All-Trac trans thats converted to FWD.....I wouldn't reccomend that anyway, as the 5SFE trans is more than capable to handle a stock to moderately built 3SGTE and yes, it bolts right up. Doing a search will provide you with all the info you need regarding this matter.


Back on topic....Lets try to figure out why this motor won't run.

Art, didn't you mention something once about EFI and ignitor/spark being all controlled through the EFI fuse? I believe you said something about tapping into the fuse for 12v for the A/C and that you realized that the EFI is correlated with the WHOLE fuel delivery, spark, igniter process.....hence EFI, I suppose. Perhaps something was accidentally mis-wired with the EFI in the harness or perhaps it would be worth it to check out the fuse itself too....?

I would check the ignition system component by component from beginning to end to see where/if continuity is broken as well as ensuring every part functions. If not, its either a bad part or bad wiring....plain and simple.
