Old engine (blown) was a 91, the replacement is a new 94 squirter. The only mods I have done to it are a VX(?) cam, 15G turbo and 91 front end gears with IPD cam gear, none of which mods should materially affect initial start-up. Just finished installation this evening. It cranks well, has electrics etc, but no start. I cracked the fuel line, no fuel at the rack when cranking. There is a moderately loud buzzing sound under the dash and I am unable to locate its source. It is neither of the fuel pumps that I can tell (ear to fuel door, and stethoscope to the main pump). It is not in the engine compartment (ie idle air motor) It sounds to be coming from under the dash, but I can't tell where (I am partially deaf!). Whether or not this buzzing is related to the lack of fuel at the rack when cranking I do not know, and obviously need some assistance. It sounds like a muted seat belt buzz from a domestic vehicle (?).
I knew this engine swap would not end easily.......
Thanks!!!
JD
