Default 2nd Gen Engine Swap Question
I took a motor I have out of a '90 convertible and put it in my friends '89 coupe.

Each car is totally stock and both are automatics.

Install went great and went to start car.

It started easily.

After a few days, when first trying to start the car, it "clicked" like the starter went bad, but then after 3 or 4 turns on the ignition, the car fired right up.

After driving for a few weeks, the problem has gotten worse, it now takes a dozen or so ignition turns.

Some added info:
1. I checked all wiring to starter. I don't see why the starter could be the issue, but if it is, so be it.
2. At install, I was not able to properly do the timing on the motor. CAS was not moved , so I didn't worry about it after seeing the car start.
3. TPS screw may have been turned. "Whoops".


Any ideas boys?
