16v swap problems... please help!

[Geeman]

I've just done a '90 1.8 Corrado 16v swap into a '91 Jetta 1.8 GL carb model.

Jetta now has 16v engine, mated to an 8v gearbox (to get over hydraulic clutch problem)

Jetta 'engine' loom removed and unplugged from fusebox.

Corrado 'engine' loom removed and put into Jetta, plugged into fusebox to replace old Jetta 'engine' loom. All re-conncted up to new 16v engine.

In-tank fuel lifter pump, external fuel pump and filter, complete with loom removed from Corrado and put into Jetta relacing the old in-tank fuel pump and wiring harness that ran back to front. Corrado fuel lines also used to replace Jetta items. New loom plugged into the old loom's position in the Jetta fusebox.

Everything plugged in and ready to go. Engine turns over but there's no spark. Also, no 'buzz' from fuel pump.

Anyone got any ideas as to what it could be?

ANY help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

Giles.

check fuses you may have blown one and relays did you use raddo relay?
are the wires the right way round on the coil?

[rubjonny]

there should be a red jumper wire from 30 to 30b on models with fuel injection, check my fusebox FAQ
edit: and did you fit the fuel pump relay from the corrado as well?

Yeah, I swapped out the relay from the Corrado. Same number on the one I had in, but swapped it anwyay.

Will check your FAQ's... thanks.
