2002 Isuzu Rodeo 3.2 v6 has no spark at plugs

I just swapped in a 2001 3.2 v6 into my 2002 Rodeo and do not have any spark at the plugs. I got a complete salvage engine that ran and I did have to swap out the wiring harness, the 2001 harness did not have any O2 connectors on the trans portion of the harness. Everything else was the same. I have 5 volts on the white wire at the crank position sensor and I even made a jumper connector from the ECM to the crank sensor to see if I had a bad wire, but nothing. I checked the part numbers for the crank sensor online and the 2001 is different from the 2002, but the crankshafts are the same.
I also did not have a connector on either harness for a cam sensor that my book says is under the intake manifold on the driver side rear side of head.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Why didn't you install the correct year engine in this?
They did make changes in different years, but I personally don't know exactly what they are. The tone ring on the crankshaft changed after 98 and there could have been another change in 2002. Did you compare the tone rings on the crankshaft to be sure they matched? If you don't have the cam sensor plugged in, it probably won't run.
Now you probably have a mismatch of things and the PCM for the 2002 is confused. I think the fix is to install the correct year engine and put the original harness back in.
Since we volunteer our time and knowledge, we ask for you to please follow up when a problem is resolved.

The salvage yard said it was a direct swap. I asked for 2002 engine. The cranks are the same but I am concerned since the crank position sensor is different between the 01 and 02.
I am also confused about the cam sensor because neither wiring harness has a connector under the intake.
I think I will just pull it back out and return it for an 02 engine

Just a follow up. Got the engine running, problem was a bad ignition module. I apparently damaged it with the engine lift.
Just to pass some info along, the 2000-2002 3.2 v6 engines are direct swaps, even though some part numbers may be different. Also, starting in 2000 Isuzu dropped the cam position sensor and went with a different system to monitor cam position.
I also figured out that I could put the assembled engine/trans/transfer case in by unbolting the body from the frame and jacking the body up about 3 inches. This was much easier than putting them in separately.
