I just put a 97 3.8 engine in a 94 -it came complete with the wiring harness. Everything is put back together and when I turn the engine over I get no spark. Any ideas why?
Do you hear the starter? ( the car turn over but not start) You can take a sparkplug wire off to see if it sparks when someone turns your car over, if not check the distributor, It could be your coil.

I replaced what would be the distributor ( the other end of the plug wires - can you tell I'm an amature mechanic?) on the 3.8. I have taken the plug out, turned the starter and there was no spark. As I mentioned I changed the engine from a 94 to a 97. Can the computer cause this? The battery was out for about two weeks while I swapped out the engine.

The engine is the same and there was no change untill the 99 mustang ( splitport rather than single port) Was the distributor form your engine or the 97 engine's . You can take the distributor to autozone and have it checked out.

I took the distributor from the 94 engine and put it on the 97. The 94 was running (barely) when I took it out so I would assume that it was good. I live in a rural area and an Auto Zone is more than 120 miles away.
No Spark
