need help
i bought a running 97 maxima gxe shell and dropped a good running motor in but i am having problems with this car. it cranks but no start. ive check for spark and ive got spark. ive check for fuel but injectors doesnt get any power. i used a noid light to test, and i get no light. ive checked all crank and cam sensors and the all work on another car. ive bought a new main relay and its not that. ive tripple checked timing and its good. ive also swaped out another ecu and its not that either. ive had a few times with it started for a split second but still cant seem to find the problem? any ideas?

Got fuel pressure? The injectors need a solid ground to fire. Also make sure you've got the fuel lines (in and out) in the correct position. There was a guy on here with an engine swap and no start that just did that simple mistake.

Wouldn't the injector fire regardless of fuel pressure? Fuel lines are correct. I would have to double check fuel pressure. I know I got fuel pressure but I don't know if it's within spec. Will check today. Thanks for your input.

thanks for all the input. it was not fuel pressure or ground. it was the ignition swith. red wire on the injectors with the car on should have a positive signal but it didnt. injectors connect to ignition switch and to the fuse. tested all the fuse and all was good. bought a new ignition switch and check for power on the injectors while key on he ON position and it was good. started it up and now works. not its time to put all the mods together.
