The car hasn't driven in years and we just finished dropping in a nicely taken care of '95 engine that has been sitting for 2 years.

I filled the engine with oil and tried to start it w/o spark plugs or injectors plugged in so the engine gets lubricated. The engine was cranking fine.

I put in the spark plugs and coil packs and plugged in the injectors and tried to start it and got a little crank then after that all I can get is this sound. I tried replacing batteries, and also used jumper cables with a running 300zx. Same noise.

The car has been sitting for many years and the battery connections look slightly corroded but I sanded them and regardless this sound just doesn't sound corrosion related.

Can anyone point me in the right way? Has the engine gone kaput?
