Default Motor swap crank no start

98 camaro, lq9 swap, tfs225, 102 setup

The motor started for a little bit maybe 5 seconds tops and then it was just off to button up other little loose ends.

Now the engine spins over but will no start. It appears I have fuel pressure unknown actual will know tomorrow. 3 grounds on driver head tight, has spark.

Is there anything that is common for this vats maybe

Could be VATS. I'm pretty sure if VATS is ticked off you can crank the car but it won't allow the injectors to do their thing, even if you have good fuel pressure. Check the pressure anyway. This is a swap, so is VATS even functioning?

I would check one more time for grounds and loose wires. Common problem I have seen is getting the crank sensor wiring caught between the starter and the block. Also check your cam sensor, map sensor etc.

Wow man, you sure? I coulda sworn that VATS would allow the starter to spin the motor but not fire if it wasn't happy...

Well I have 55 psi at the rail, it is a injector issue. The injectors are not pulsing, have 12 volts battery voltage on all the pink wires for injectors just not seeing ground thur the PCM. When cranking the security light comes on solid and no fuel. So I will be deleting that **** later to night it will start on brake clean

Sounds like Vats to me... But if you just swapped longblock that alone shouldn't cause a Vats problem. Is it throwing any DTC's? Have you changed the PCM? And check cam and crank signals...

Yeah it is a Vats issue. I have checked everything cam signal was good couldn't see crank signal with scanner. Used EFI live and deleted 1626 out and the other one. Since then it has work just fine.
