I just put a used motor in my 1992 sho. All wiring is connected, but when I try to turn it over it wants to start, but instead just cranks and cranks. I was wondering if there is a reset on the computer that I need to find, or am I just out of luck with this motor. Thank you

Disconnect a sparkplug wire or 2 and ground it to the engine -have helper crank engine over-do you have a snapping blue spark? If so-you have a fuel related problem, check the fuel pressure to rule out the fuel filter/fuel pump/pressure regulator and listen to the injector/s are they pulsing or hook up a noid light. No snapping blue spark continue to troubleshoot the ignition system-power input to the coil/coil packs, distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, cam and crank sensors- Note: If it doesn't apply disregard it
