fitting a corsa engine in a nova

[CHARLES11]

i have a nova 1.2 spi and the engine blew up so i decided to put a corsa 1.2 spi engine in ,ihave put the engine ,wirring loom(just the engine part )and ecu in.
the problem is when i start the car it starts then dies 5 seconds after and the engine warning light stays on when the ignition is at 2 clicks and flashes when i star the car.

i would be grateful if someone could help me with this problem

thank you

you could of just used the coil and dissy of the old spi, then put it on the corsa one, and used all the nova wiring, ?

there was no hole for it to go in the cam housing and i din;t think i could replace the housing without upsetting the head as i dont want to go through all the hassle
thanks for the reply
any info on the problem ive got at hand
thanks

You cant replace the cam carrier without undoing the headbolts.

What wasn't there a hole for?

Immobiliser ? Was there one in the corsa with transponder key and such ?
