nope...

Did you change the timing belt before you put the motor in ?

best thread ever.

k doesnt work anymore lol.... started up...ran high..so i shut it down....then i had a friend start it ..i loosend the throtal cable...and it started and died prity quickly ...

ive been told a few things like check timming..i set the cam sprockets to the correct position...i am running k8 ecu and maf..some on said it was the ecu needed to be out of a de..other said doesnt matter...any other suggestions b4 i have to pay for some one to fix it ?

Is this a OBDII car? (96mx-3)??

Could be one issue right there.

Did you change your timing belt? if so.
Make sure your timing belt is on its marks
Get a timing light and double check ignition timing
Did you change your cams? if so
make sure your cam marks line up. very easy to do.
What wires are you using? The k8 ones will not work, they are too short.
Did you change the plugs?
(Not sure about OBDII) The je50vaf/k8ecu will work ok, but sence you have a klde get the proper vaf and ecu for your motor. ( not sure about OBDII )
Double,triple check your vac lines!!!

k8 wires arent to short and they will work... they just go over the intake manny and look like s---
