Not Starting

[Lilbloody4]

Alright, did a 6Bolt swap, wire-tuck, MS, AEM FPR, Innovative LC-1, FuelLab Fuel Filter, Push Start, and battery to the trunk... Everything is installed and I tried to start and the starter clicks but all the lights in the car go dim/off... I checked with a multimeter the battery and I got 12.38... I also checked while trying to start the car and got 8.03... I went over all of the grounding points and sanded the paint down to bare metal.... I'm charging my optima battery overnight, but I want to know if anyone could think of something else that it might be thats draining all of the battery while trying to start it...

O' yea the anti lock light is on... it wasn't before.... Anyone know what thats all about???

On most cars anything less that 9v when cranking will not start. Does your push start have a light that stays on? is the LC-1 grounded?

 

[Lilbloody4]

The LC-1 is unhooked at the moment.... and for the push start, I have the battery to a 20Amp fuse then to the push button, which is jumpered to 86 & 30 of the relay... 85 is the ground and 87 goes to the S terminal on the starter solenoid... Question, wouldn't the alternator give a lil juice to cover the extra amp or so that the battery is lacking??? I'm really thinking that It might be the alternator.... I have the 1G Alternator here, I might just throw that in to see what happens...

The alternator does nothing until the car is actually running. You have a short somewhere or a ground missing.

 

[Lilbloody4]

does anyone have a diagram of all of the grounds???

 

[Lilbloody4]

Installed a grounding kit and it still does the same thing.... Its not a ground... The battery's charged but when I go to crank it still goes to 8volts... The starter is kind of warm too...

Found out what it was.... The flywheel was craping up against the bell housing.... I will never let a Honda lover install parts on my car when I'm not around...
