He said that he will come to my garage, which is where the car is located, and figure out what the problem is. I talked to him yesterday, he says he will call me today after he get off of work, he will bring all the tools he thinks he needs. I called him at 7 today, but he didnt pick up. He should know that i called, he has caller ID, and he knows why i called for.
I went to Quaker tonight. JC and Jason said that Taylor is inside Quaker with some friends.
It's ok, I'll continue to find someone who is willing to help me out. Taylor has things to take care of, and so does CFP. They have their own priorities.
I spent too much time and money for this motor swap. I need to get this car running ASAP. New Years is just a couple of days away, and I know that everyone wants to spend time with their friends and family. I have little faith that my car will be running this weekend.
I would take my car to my trusty mechanic, who fixed my family cars/truck numerous of times, but my car's motor has been swapped, and im not sure if he can check it out. Ill ask him tomorrow to see if he knows anything about SRs.
I seriously thought about selling my car the way it is, but the lost would be too great on me.

make sure you reinstalled the CAS correctly. you have to TDC the motor, then line it up with the top dot to the line on the CAS, then when you insert it against the cam gear, it will lign up to the second dot. it aligns up with the 2nd dot, do this with the valve cover off for accuracy.
swap ignitors, check for burnt tracers on the ECU, mainly the main power tracer.
pull the plugs, connect it to the coil pack, lay on valve cover, crank, look for spark.

Welcome to the worldof modified cars. Dont get discouraged, these things happen, and if you cannot afford to have your car down for a while, then i hate to say it but dont modify it. Work and play dont mix. Just hang in there, and things will eventually come together. Like you said, its between x-mas and new years, people are busy and out of town, etc.
Just remember that everything happens for a reason, and you gotta look at the upside of everything. I am sure if someone did the swap for you and everythign went A-OK, you would not have learned nearly as much as you did trying to figure out what is wrong. Aggrivating? yes. Stressfull? Yes. Pain in the ass? Yes. Worth it? yes. Same with working overtime, you dont want to be there, but when the paycheck comes you are happy you did it.
