swap... won't start

[graf703]

So i'm swapping in a used 2g engine.. lil scared of cw.... finish bolting everything up and double checking and go to start the egnine and the clutch pedal flies to the floor. Get out try and bleed the clutch line as best i can by myself by pushin back on the clutch fork and bleeding it. Get back in the car try and start, clutch acts more normal, mid stroke it kind of hesitates, but it still won't turn over.... What can I do next?

First of all, is your starter turning the motor? If it isn't then there's a different issue you need to resolve. If you're not getting enough clutch pedal play to deactive the clutch saftey feature, you can disconnect the harness temporarily located around the clutch pedal assembly. After you remove this, try turning the motor without pressing the clutch. The motor should turn if your starter is in working order.

Take the car out of gear to do that!!

starter isn't turning at all

What do i do after I try the clutch safety disable? What do I need to do to get it the clutch to work right? I haven't had time with another person here yet to be able to get the clutch line bleeded very well.
I had the wires wrong on the starter earlier and the starter sounded like it was running in reverse without the solenoid kicking in.

Well worry about the motor turning first. If you figure out that your clutch isn't getting enough play, that'll solve most of your puzzles. So unhook that harness, put it in neutral (!), and try to start the car.

If it still doesnt turn then it has to be either your starter or it's connections. GL
