2.7 to 3.2 Swap--No Start--Need Help! - 5/14/2008 2:59:34 PM    race21   Posts: 3 Joined: 5/14/2008 Status: offline We just completed our second 2.7 to 3.2/3.5 swap. This swap was to a 3.2 in a 2000 Concorde.  We went to start it today and we have nothing.  When you turn the key, the check engine light icon doesn't light up in the dash, so I don't think the pcm is getting power for some reason.  The pcm isn't telling th starter relay to engage the starter.  I have power going to the starter and the distribution box for the fuses and relays from the battery.  I even checked for power at the box and it is present there.  When I turn the key I do have some lights in the dash, seatbelt light and some others that aren't pcm related I guess.  I'm wondering if there is pcm ground or something.  I have very generic wiring diagrams that are not very detailed.  Which wires or pins does the pcm receive power?  Do you have any ideas?  I did the swap the same way we did the first swap which was a 3.5 into a 2002 Intrepid and didn't have any problems with that. Thanks for any help! -Jason Post #: 1
