Weird 88 9000 Turbo problem

I own a 1988 9000 Turbo. I just finished putting a new engine in because the timing chain broke on the old one. The engine is out of another 1988 9000 turbo i found about 50 miles away from me. I am so close to getting it running after the new engine but I have a weird problem:
When I crank the car, it sounds like the engine is going to go, but it won't go good enough to sustain itself. I checked and I have spark out of the coil, but I can't test if it is enough. I also have +2 spark plugs in that are firing but I'm also not sure if it is enough.
Does this sound like an ignition problem or a fuel problem? I can't tell. Everything in the air side works, Turbo, AMM...
