Hey guys yesterday i just finished up one of my cars that i have sold to a friend.

Well its a 2003 evo 8 and i did full Evo 9 Mivec swap to it.

I installed a Evo 9 Mivec motor, Evo 9 Harness, Evo 9 Ecu and evo 9 6 speed trans.

The only issue im having is the car cranks over just fine but has 0 spark at the sparkplugs.


NOTE: The motor cam out of a car that i drove to my house, so the full swap is in perfect running condition.


Any ideas on what i may have missed?

 

check cam angle and check crank angle sensor plugs

 

As far as plugging them into the wrong one?

 

So far i check the plugs, all seem to be in the right place, and i checked fuse #1 in the dash.. All Good, still 0 spark.

 

plz note i do not have the stock ecu originally from the car, im using another evo 9 Ecu i got.

 

check your immobilizer and see.

 

^ Im having my friend bring back my original ECU and we gonna swap it out.. Im pretty sure thats the issue

 

Ill put money on it, car thinks a differnt key is trying to start it.

 

this is my question tho, since i put the full swap into a evo 8, doesnt that mean i have to match the key to the new ECU?


Technically i have a Evo 8 Key with a Evo 9 ECU and Full Swap

 

So dont i have to go into the ECU and Match the ECu with the New Immobilizer Code from the Evo 8 key?

 

mmm.... i'm not sure on that one... dont even think anyone tried that..., but if thats the case you know for sure your car starts... put your immo key in there and try and start it with your key

 

The key needs to be in sync with the ecu.

You can try to disable it.

If he disables it can he use any key to start his car then?!?

 

I had the same issue. Disabled the immobilizer and the car started fine.

 

Thanks Guys
