so, we have five days left until our m30 swap HAS to work. The transmission is not on yet, but that's a different story. We put the motor in, hooked it up regardless, and are attempting to make it work. Currently, the complete stock chassis harness is all gone, there is a custom harness controlling the C101 wires and sparse electrical things that have to be there, like the wipers, fuel pump, and pseudo-ignition switch.
The main issue is that the motor cranks but does not have spark. Strangely, measuring current on the coil's posts seems to indicate that it should have spark, but yet no explodey is forthcoming. With the power in ignition-mode, coil sees 12v on black lead, when cranking it goes down to about 9.
We've tried replacing the coil, no change was produced. My next suspect is the CPS which is on the front of a B35 motor, but I don't know how to diagnose it.
