6 bolt swap car wont turnéstart

[Levesque]

I tried starting my car but it wont even turn. The clutch sensor is out so dont need to press on the clutch. Nothing is on the dsmlink , stock settings from previous guy , just wanted to see if it would start. Nothing, well at first it turned for a second then stoped after that nothing. Battery is good windows and all work. When I put key in and put on accessory its all good. When I turn it nothing, the radio time/light disappears tho. Tried putting a booster pack and all. Nothing is happening what would cause this.

my firing order is correct acccording to dsmwiki
3241



1g cas wired properly. power transistor from the coil pack relocated.

its pluged in the right connectors also not the AC or the Coil pack triangle.


any ideas?

So we understand correctly, your saying the starter doesn't even bump or sound like it's getting juice as soon as you turn the key? You said it turned once then stopped, I would check the starter fuse.

that is correct . nothing is happening now. First time trying it turned for 1 sec if not less then stop , didnt fire , just turned. Also my transistor pack is grounded to my TB on one of the bolts is that okay ?

I will check the fuse any thing else possible ?

fuses r okay got it to start twice in a row but still isnt going , think its a ground , played with wires and it started.


If i had a bad battery wires or ground wouldnt the battery not work ? because my lights and all work.

So now your saying it has bumped twice but not starting? I'm trying to find out the symptoms and you replied back saying yes nothing happens but then you say it tried twice but nothing. First, is the starter recieving power? You would know by either clicking or cranking and/or dimming of lights when key turned to start postition.

If it is turning over but not firing, there are many ways of testing it. I noticed you said you moved some wires and it started which tells me you need to make sure all you wires are thorougly connected. The ground wires need to be grounded to metal, preferably not alumimum or TB. The coil pack should be cleaned and pluged in tightly and not loose at all. Once you have checked all the connections then you can start checking for spark. One way is to get a test light and check the plug wires when cranking, the light will light up if there is spark, do this for each wire. Let us know if you are getting spark or power to the plugs then we will go from there.
