Hello,

what is the absolute minimum required in order to turn the engine over?

Trying to narrow out an electrical gremlin and can't crank the car for the life of it!

I'm already on my second car, engine harness, chassis wiring.. etc. Tried unplugging everything and still doing the same thing.

I can't believe that two cars would have the same kind of an electrical issue.. but can't be excluded of course.
 
Am going to try and rephrase my question a little better,

what is all that needs to be plugged in, in order to be able to crank the engine over? Doesn't matter if it would start at all, just cranking.



Sounds like a bad battery

Tried 3 different batteries, two different starters, alternators, EMS's, mpi relays, engine harnesses, chassis wiring.. etc
