    Hi there.

    I just finished changing a engine over to one from the same year. I used all my electrical all I did was drop in a newer engine and hook up the fuel and all the wiring.

    The thing cranks over, I can hear the pump and smell the fuel, however im getting no spark.

    all the electrical plugs are plugged in, all the grounds seem good. I just dont get it.

    My scan tool showed me that its reading the crank rpm, so im assuming the crank sensor is working as it should.

    Im really lost here.

    Thanks.
    Martin.

    I had the same symptoms when I changed to the Gen V, check the ICM (ignition control module). Somehow during the swap I wrecked mine. Replaced and it started right up.

    I'd bet 10 bucks its the Ignition module (ICM). They ain't cheap...but that's probably the issue.

    I was in a rush and needed mine, it was 150$ from auto zone. I have seen people sell them on the boards here for 20$ though. If its not your DD your in luck.
