Default NEED HELP PLEASE!

I have an engine sitting on a pallate waiting for a kit car and to ensure it runs good I tried to fireit up. I have the entire car wiring harness with column and key. It does run roughly but, I noticed a spark is deliverd when the key is turn on without the starter moving. I have all the engine sensors hooked up as far as I know including the O2 and MAF. Anyone have a reason why or what am I missing.

I just bumped up your other nearly identical thread. I'll move this one to our Hybrid, Conversions section.

How do you have it wired? Specifically, what do you have supplying the coils with power? The lead supplying power to the coils is at a plug that would be left undone if someone supplied you with an engine harness, and no body/chassis harness(es). I had to splice that wire(wires? I forget now) to supply power for the coils.

Do you get a spark at every coil? Or which one?

Considering you are sitting on a palatte, grounding the motor etc may be an issue.
