Is it the exact same engine, year--make--model? Where applicable, what about your security system? If it cranks good but won't start, have a helper crank it, while you check for spark at the plugs. If you have spark everywhere, use a gage and check fuel pressure.

Can you communicate with computer, check for applicable trouble codes?
