Can’t seem to figure out the issue seems to be an issue with a sensor or something electrical car is an automatic and no transmission lights will power up on the dash can jump starter and get it to turn over but won’t fire

Green key flashing in the dash? Checked fuses?

No green key on dash, checked most fuses that I thought would be it, any specific ones I should check

I would suggest getting a good battery before troubleshooting too much.

Do you know how to do a voltage drop test? Might have a voltage drop in the battery terminals, I had that happen with my gfs 99

Re: Engine won’t crank no fuel pump no starter no spark.

You need to check terminals and the wires, swapping multiple batteries isn't going to do anything

Re: Engine won’t crank no fuel pump no starter no spark.

Well it's alot easier for us to help you if you explain all that in your original post.
How are the connections on the starter?
It grounds through the bellhousing and I've seen them get pretty corroded

Re: Engine won’t crank no fuel pump no starter no spark.

If you know how to use a multimeter you can test the ignition switch

Re: Engine won’t crank no fuel pump no starter no spark.

I’ll try ignition switch but would that cause the fuel pump to not come on and no spark? Also no transmission lights light up on the dash. Really think there’s some relay somewhere that I just can’t find. Any better way to contact you?

Re: Engine won’t crank no fuel pump no starter no spark.

Well yeah that's the whole point of the ignition switch. Just keep posting on this thread that way any other members with ideas can weigh in

Re: Engine won’t crank no fuel pump no starter no spark.

If I read your post right. This happened after an engine swap. The most common thing I have seen is the ground at the t-stat housing.

Re: Engine won’t crank no fuel pump no starter no spark.

Has the car run since you put new terminals and grounds on? If not that's the first thing I'd check. Bad power or ground caused by dirt, oil, corrosion, bad crimp, or just loose.
