Just got off the phone with the old mechanic .apparenly if the harmonic plate is on the wrong way (and hes done that before) the crank sensor gets all messed up.As far as the engine and electronics wise it makes no difference that it came from a ford.....(hes done the exact swap before).Too bad i got uni exams in an hr and I cant bloody flip over the plate till I get home....Sigh all that hair pulling over something so simple.... ill take photos .peace
