ok i dropped the 4g63 engine into my 96 gst and got everything hooked up what looks to be correct and even have the cas engine mod thats needed but when i was all excited and done ready to finally start it it wont turn over at all when i turn the key the fuel pump kicks on but the starter doesnt even click or anything so i had the starter check and its good and the battery is fully charged but all i keep getting is just the fuel pump please help im getting frustrated with this problem its been like 3 months and no matter what i do it wont start
 
Is the 4g63 you swapped in a 6 bolt or 7 bolt ?
Make sure you got all your connections right, check for any bad or missing grounds.
Report back with more info.
 
sorry its a 6 Bolt and from what i could see all grounds where connected any idea how many there are so i know if im missing one
 
im goin down to the garage later tonight and im gonna recheck everything to b positive if there all right and it still doesnt start what else could it be any other ideas that i can check wile im down there

have u check the Clutch Pedal Ignition Lock Switch

where is that at and do i just gotta check if its hooked up or what sorry if im dumb im not all that knowledgeable with dsm cars
 
thats gonna b the first thing im gonna check when i get there then because my clutch was acting weird as hell for a while i hope its just something simple like that thanks alot ill keep everyone updated once i start trying everything
 
I Got the car to start there were 2 plugs that i found that were not connected and one plug didnt have power so my car wasnt getting spark but it runs and drives great now i had it for 3 days and put 305.5 miles on it haha
