98 Caravan no start Can't Post

1998 Dodge Caravan 2.4L. Engine ran but had a rod knock. Replaced with running engine from a 98 Cirrus. Engine started immediately after replacement, warmed up and checked fluids. Let it set overnight and test drove; drove 2 miles, let sit for 10 minutes, drove 2 miles, let sit for 5 minutes, drove 150 yards, engine stalled and will not restart. Scanned for codes, none present. Checked mechanical timing, cam marks indicate TDC when #1 @ TDC compression. Compression is 100 across all 4 cylinders. Fuel pressure and volume are within specs. Cam and crank position sensors both have signal and sync per scanner. TPS and MAP sensor voltages are withing range. Injectors pulse per noid light. Exhaust pipe was loosened to check for plugged convertor. I'm out of ideas. HELP!!

What was the reading on the coil pack? Did you check for spark?

noid light just tells you injectors are being grounded by pcm....what it does not tell you is the pulse width the on time in milliseconds that the computer is grounding the injectors.Like dave said....Do you have spark?Spray some carb cleaner into intake and crank and see if it trys to start or starts and stalls.Let us know about spark and if starts and stalls when carb spray is sprayed into intake.
