I bought a 2012 Chevy Sonic 1.3D with a blown engine. Decided to replace it with an import 1.3D (FTP / Fiat engine) The donor engine came from a Opel Corsa 1.3 TDCi. We basically used the whole engine new but the intake and exhaust manifold of the old engine. The new engine refused to start. Then we started with a lot of things. We replaced or repaired the following which showed up in the diagnostics:
1. Overhauled, calibrated the injectors
2. Overhauled the old turbo
3. Replaced the diesel cutt off sensor
4. Removed and tested the diesel pump
5. Replaced the glow plugs
6. Replaced the battery
7. Checked all the fuses
Clear all fault codes on the diagnostics
I am almost up to the point of selling it to scrap yard.
Is there anyone on this forum who can help me with advice ?
