Resolved 5 speed to auto swap

[BigKat773]

Hope this in the right section guys. Well what I've done is swapped the entire auto drive train and engine harness into a 5 speed car. Called myself double checking everything and the car won't turn over, I don't even hear the starter trying to click. It's acting like a manual car when you go to start it without the clutch being pressed down. I thought that was the problem so i hooked that back up and taped down to simulate the clutch being pressed down and still nothing. Any help is much appreciated thanks.

What year is the car? There's a black w/yellow stripe wire coming off the transmission. Goes to the gear selector (inhibitor) on the transmission. This is the wire you need to focus on. It is the neutral/park wire. On a 1 g, I think it gets its power from the passenger side kick panel and goes to the transmission, then to the starter solenoid. Start there.

Edit
www.atdsm.com has a nice wiring diagram.

Ok ill jump on that. They're both 2g cars the harness came out of a Apr 94 car swapped into a 97.

Not sure on the 2g. I'm sure that website has what you are looking for.

Ok I've checked all of that...been reading...and seems like the anti theft might be my issue...I'm not are though. The car i pulled everything from didn't have anti theft. But the car I swapped everything into came with anti theft system. But I don't have a relay to plug into the socket for an automatic setup.

Problem solved a few days ago. Had to jumper 2 wires where the anti theft relay would go for an auto car. After i did that it fired right up.
