I meant computer compatibility-BTW what make you swap engines? Have you tested the CPS wiring for short and open circuit-

If you disturbed the distributor, you likely have it out of synch since it requires a scan tool to set it. That will be in addition to whatever your "no spark" problem turns out to be.I'm assuming you swapped wit the same year and VIN code.
