This is a new one to me. Picked up a 97 GST with a 6bolt that spun a bearing. Swapped in my good 7bolt from my 95 TSI. After pulling the trans a couple times to get the right starter plate in place I'm finally ready to crank it a little first to get oil to the turbo and such. Turn the key on, dash lights up as normal. Turn to start, fuel pump finally comes on, but no cranking. Tried another starter, same issue. So just to be safe, removed the turbo timer the previous owner had installed, no change. Checked the link(v3) comes up fine, can turn the fuel pump on and off no problem. Figured best to see what I am missing. I know the fp is only sposed to run when it has a signal from the cas, but every other dsm I've owned(3 1Gs and 4 2Gs so far), when I turn the key on, hear the fp come on and then go off, and start up fine. With this one, the fp doesn't power up until the key is in the start position, AND the starter is not activating. I'm at a loss and I need to get my car running asap. I've searched but nothing quite like this that I noticed. Any and all help will be greatly appreciated!
