He has changed the engine and the boys have it all back together but we are all scratching our heads wondering why the car won't turn over and start. They have checked wiring, battery connection, fuel lines, u name it they have probably checked it. They have hooked up a scan tool and it is spitting out faults unsure what faults though as I didnt see the results. Does anyone have any clues??

It shouldn't throw codes if everything is plugged in (like the 3 plugs under the ecu, very easy to latch 1 up without it being seated first) Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/94820-new-enginecar-not-starting/#findComment-1683365 Share on other sites More sharing options...
