Hi grant,

Because you have a engine "swap", there is no clear cut troubleshooting
routines. However I'm surprised to read your long story that contained
NO voltage measurements. The fact that the engine is "dead" is a real
blessing in disguise since it allows you to look at voltage values to
determine what's missing.

You need to do a pin by pin of all the circuits to the control module.
There are maybe 20 circuits to be checked. This is the only way to deal
with such a problem. I have a Digifant pin-by-pin check list but it
won't work here due to the swap. Use the Bentley book and check each
circuit  when the no start is present.

Also do you know if the fuel pump is working during the no start and if
the new engine has a Hall sensor-is it working ?
