So you swapped a manual box for another manual box or you did a manual conversion?

First thing to do is check if the engine is getting spark and the Cas or coil may have crapped itself and also check to hear if the fuel pump is priming. If that doesn't work try race trans or maatouks

As Patch said, work through the motions. Does the car crank at all?

If it's cranking but not actually starting, take of a spark plug lead and hold a screw driver inside of it and get someone to crank it. If it ain't sparking cas is your problem or if it's a weak spark it could be the coil

what patch said is best, what fuel are you using? check the plugs havnt been fowled. then check your leads and coil. then id look at idle sensor. if its starting and then cutting out that could be an issue, i find it easyest to start with the little things and work back, plugs, leads, coil, so on... good luck let us know how it goes
