Swap engine wont start
Swap engine wont start
Hi guys i have a 99 ford f150 4.6l v8. I swap the engine for another truck of the same year and same engine. Now it wont start. I change all the sensors for new ones. I have fuel and sparks. But still wont start. I dont know what to do. The engine cranks but it wont start. I need help please
Have spark and fuel!!! can't be a no fire.
What is the fuel pressure at the port while cranking using a pressure gage?
Are you positively sure spark is present?
Are the injectors firing?
Aside from the plug wire order being incorrect, there is no reason it should not at leas attempt to fire unless you changed the PCM.
We don't have anything to go on until you confirm the above questions.
Good luck.

One coil is getting power, the other one is not.
Getting power, or producing spark? Totally separate issues.

All i did was getting it to start. It was late last night. I will check to see if the coil is good, for the loss of power. When i get off work later i will check
Ok, i just put a code reader on it. Its reading six code. P0351, p0353, p0354, p0355, p0356, p038. These are all misfiring im getting. Going to check the coils
.
Of course the PCM will set those codes because it does not see the coil 'current signatures' because there is no power to them.
Both coils get power from the same fused source through the PCM relay..
You damaged the harness doing the work.
The PCM relay is operating because the PCM is able to see the loss of coil power in order to set those codes.
There are at least 6 other sensors that take power from the same source as the coils.
See Haynes Manual page 12-21 for the layout.
All you have to do is inspect for damage and test for power at different points to see where the loss is, and how extensive.
Maybe wrong plugups have been made as well. It is possible

The spark maybe wasnt gap correctly or not at all. I will check them. The gap for 99 f150 4.6l v8 is .54 if im correct
Im going to buy new plugs now. I will check out motorcraft, hopefully they not too expensive.
