    ok well I swapped my 99 3.8sc and trans into an 02 body which i removed the engine and trans from. Now here I am done and I go to start it and nothing. I checked the trans bell houseing and my wires are on good, so I check the starter and its getting power (stuck a flat head between the 2 bolts to make sure I was getting power).Spark plugs and injectors are also on properly. one thing I have noticed is when i turn the key over security flashes and the radio flashes off when i hold the key over and when I turn the key back its back on. fuel pump kicks on. Engine and trans i put in are very good, i got tboned in my other car and put my engine and trans into this 02. Any help would be nice

    did the old engine crank over or even start?

    sounds like a security issue with a dash of ignition harness maybe.

    pretty sure you need a tech 2 scanner to do that.

    i can take a correction with being called names. we've never had a problem with each other before, why start now?
