I have a 1997 chrysler cirrus and we changed the engine because the old one was no good. We changed the sensors and the computer and made sure the timing was on its getting spark, fuel, and has compression it started a few times but wen I would put it in drive it would jump and cut off. So I changed the spark plugs and the wires and now the car wont start at all can u help me out because I dont know whats wrong with it.

HI there,

Check the basics from the start, Spark, Fuel pressure & flow, injector pulse, ran a scan and report any set fault codes, start here.

Hi there,

Do you have any fault codes? Is the firing order correct?
