that's a straight forward swap - you just take one engine out and put the other in. the issue is not related to difference in years of the engine.

 

swapping coil and igniter sounds like a really good deal.

 

which intake manifold did you use? you could try swapping that if all else fails in case the fuel system, injectors are hosed on the "new" unknown engine.

Swap the plug wires (1 to 3, 2 to 4).

 

Did you install new plugs?

 

See if the problem follows plug wires or stays with coil.

 

I have a good ignitor here if you need one PM me.

 

 

 

Thanks for the response, I borrowed an ignitor from my bro-in law, fixed the issue! You have a good ignitor for sale??? how much?
