Hey guys. I'm new to this forum, but I've been here many a time looking around. I'm normally over at FEOA as I have a 91 escort GT. But I figured I might as well join this forum too as the escorts and proteges are basically the same car. But anyways...
I just finished swapping a JDM GTX motor into my escort. I went to start it up yesterday, but it wouldn't start. The motor would crank and it sounded like it wanted to start, but didn't. I pulled all the spark plugs to check em' and they were all normal except for number 4, which was dry black.(The plugs are brand new) This means it is getting too much fuel correct? I tested the spark plug wires to see if I was getting a spark, and I was getting good spark out of all 4 of them. I thought the fuel injector might be screwed up, so I took it out and put in an injector from my GT motor. The engine started but ran like crap, didn't sound right at all, and then died after about 3 seconds.
Any suggestions as to what the problem might be would be greatly apreciated. Thanks.
