Just fitted a new engine and it won't start?

Hi everyone
So I've just fitted another engine to my d3, it came out of a low mileage s-type jag. I swapped everything over I.e injectors turbo/manifolds all the wiring. Problem is I can't get it to start now just turns over and over. Has anyone else had a similar problem or has anyone got any suggestions?
Thanks in advance Jamie

you need to run a diagnostic test to help you figure out what the problem is

Cheers for that, hmm I'm hoping it's not the reluctor ring 😞 Think I will double check the timing

Think I'm gonna go down the route of checking the timing, fingers crossed I've just got a tooth out or something. Will update when I've checked.

TBH I dont know, on the IID tool I assume it shows cranking speed, but Ive never looked, I bought the tool and havent actually needed it apart from playing with it and I hope it stays that way!

I'm getting code Po341 Camshaft position sensor A circuit range/performance, so I'm thinking if the timing is out it would be reading wrong so throwing the fault up

Yeah it's all plugged in, but I will double check the connectors before I start looking at the timing

So finally figured out the starting problem, I'd trapped the camshaft sensor wire. Rejoined it and it fired straight up thanks for the help people
