it's getting power but doesn't move or make a noise. when i remove it and give it power it works. now i'm stumped... ideas???

Check your grounds and make sure everything is clean and well connected. I had the same problem on another car and it turned out that I just didn't tighten down the connection at the battery. Felt like a real dummy that day... Especially when you remove and replace an engine it's likely you missed a ground...

i just noticed that since i bought this car in january, i've only put on 300 miles... just not a big fan of the tiptronics i guess...

two reasons. wiring harnesses are different on tips and manuals. the motor they gave me came out of a manual and i have a tip. the intakes are different because porsche modified the 3.4 at some point. i had an early 3.4 and the engine i got was a later 3.4

good lookin out mother, i actually just bought a 6spd cabrio today with a ****ty motor. talk about putting your money where your mouth is, right? (see previous posts, lol) anyways, i hope to get it running by monday....
it's white, navy top, navy int (almost black), stick, clear corners all around, 80k miles on the clock, and pretty cherry aside from some front bumper scuffs.
gonna pop in a zero mile reman motor and new sachs clutch kit this week. hopefully it all turns out well and i can finally dump my tiptronic (ugh!)
