    Need mechanic wiring expert for 89-92 302 mass air engine near Greensboro,NC

    Have donor engine installed in MK IV. Won't fire. Problem seems to be between ignition- computer- coil. I am not a car guy and need help. Haven't had a response from Factory Five. Bob

    Bob.

    A couple of basics. Starting with the easy stuff.

    When you turn the ignition on do you hear the fuel pump run for a few seconds and then turn off?
    If you pull a plug wire off and hold it close to ground and crank the engine do you get spark?

    Agree with the other responses. Need more details about your build and exactly what is working and what isn't. It's not reasonable for you to expect Factory Five to help you troubleshoot. They don't sell or support engines. Hopefully it's something simple. But if it's not, based on your comment about not being a car guy, you may need to seek out professional help. Those engines are pretty well known.

    I might be able to walk you through some of the diagnosis over the phone. If you PM me your phone number, I will see if I can help.
