Ok, I just got done doing a 3.4 swap in my 89 RS , got it to run, fixed timing, and everything was fine; when the car wasnt moving just running. I pulled out of the garage and stoped at the end of the driveway to turn and it just died. We pushed it back into the garage and checked it out. When we turn the key to the on position the "Check Engine" light does not come on and there is not the normal wail of the fuel pump nor the fan, nothing happend out of many times trying. I consulted Haynes and Chilton manual but found nothing. Family and friends clueless. What happend? I need YOUR help, if you can.
Thanks,
Adam

 

GREAT GOING YOU GOT THAT FAR!!
All I can suggest is to check all electrical connections.
You have a loose ground connection going on.
I'll make ya feel good.
Did a complete rebuild on my Motorcycle. Got the engine in etc.
Couldn't get it to run
Gave it to Honda ($350) to get it to run.
Got it to run.
The built engine had an oiling problem. It died (ruined cam!!). I swapped in another engine. Got it to run. It keeps stalling. (I would push it back a 1/4 mile to the shop) Trying to find the electrical short that kills motor. Thought I had it. Ready for another try. Then discover I have a flat rear tire!
Next weekend.

Look at all grounds etc. One is flaky.

well, i checked all the gounds and they seem fine. I also checked the connections that we messed with while doing the swap, also ok.
Any other suggestions?
