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-

Im still waiting for the button to arrive. I checked that the coil is recieving 12 volts and used the other wire on the connector as a ground. It had 12.7 volts. I still have no spark. So I checked the wires going from the igniter to the distributor for continuity. They are connected ok. So Im thinking its either the coil, coil wire to cap, igniter, or ecm. Im also pondering if it could be the distributor since thats directly related to the code and its not allowing the ecm to work for the ignition system. But if Im getting 12 volts to the coil, Doesnt this mean that the igniter and ecm are doing there job? Anyways I am going to replace the cap and button. I also bought a coil and igniter on ebay for $47.00 shipped. I guess Ill know more when I replace all this. Im so anxious to get this beast on the road! Ill keep you all posted. Thanks for the feedback!
