2.3 - 5.0 conversion problems
Alright here goes. I just swapped my 89 2.3 and my 87 5.0 around (87 now has the 2.3 and runs well and the 89 now has the 5.0 in it.) And yes i did everything involved in the swap... brakes, suspension, wiring, computer etc...
Heres the issue.
The 5.0 wont start. I have tones of spark off the coil (atleast a 1 inch gap with huge arc) ive even gone as far as pulling a plug and watching it spark. Theres fuel getting to it, on the plugs we pulled you can smell gas and thers good pressure coming out of the schrader valve. I removed the smog pump off the car.... but i dont see how that should effect it starting.
When scanned it comes up with code 82 and code 84. I have spark with and without the spout connector in. Also there is no headlights or marker lights. The turn signals work and the flash to pass works.... i dont know if its related to the running issue but... it might?.
I static timed it and double checked the firing order off the distributor and it seems fine. I dont even get a fart pop or misfire, just the odd puff out of the intake.
Any ideas would be awesome... ohya and i ohms tested the tps and it seems to flow smoothly as you move the throttle plate.
