Ok guys, i have a 2003 ford Mondeo 1.8 zetec petrol

iv'e just swapped the engines as the old one was blown,

the engine codes are different but i have swapped the ecu, fuse box, ignition barrel, immobilizer and the clocks.

when i try to start the engine it doesn't even turn over.

all connections are in and the starter motor is good to go.

any ideas?
