why no start after swap
i have an 87 gta with a blow 305 tpi.
i bought an 89 gta with a 350 tpi to swap.
i took everything off of the 89 and replaced it with the 87 stuff.
i only used the computer, injectors, and heads off of the 89.
the car turns over and starts for a second or two then dies. after doing it another 2 times it doesn't start at all, just turns over, in a few minutes u can redo the process.
thanx

Could be alot of things so I'm gonna take a stab at it. Something to check. When you first hit the ignition without starting you should hear the fuel pump prime for a few seconds then stop. When you start the car there is a oil pressure switch which trips the fuel pump and keeps it running, if that switch isn't hooked up that 2 seconds of running is the fuel from the prime burning. So check and see if your fuel pump kicks when it starts briefly.
