Car won't start
Yes, another one...
Battery is fine (checked with a volt-meter and by jumping from another battery and problem persisted). When I try to start, I get fuel pressure, the radiator fan comes on, and a relay clicks. That is all. The starter is extremely difficult to get to, so I havent had an opportunity to jump it yet. Anyone have any ideas/troubleshooting procedures? The only thing I did from the time it started fine until now is take off my catback and then take off the header and put it back on. that shouldnt be a problem because I see no ground wires in that area.

Had this problem when I put on my header the other day. Got in after install, turned my key over... absolutely nothing!?
The primary O2 sensor clip was loose, simple fix. IDK if that's your problem though, make sure all of your clips are tight and try again, you never know.

my primary o2 was just hanging there, I hooked it up (which was pointless because the header is open right now anyway) and checked the plug, still nothing.

maybe check all of the fuses(except headlights...ect) on the fusebox underneath the driver side dash to see if any of those are blown

Umm. Try to get a pry bar or long screwdriver to the starter. If the starter is in a dead spot, you can try to bang on it. Have someone turn the key while you tap on the starter. Or you can try pushing ht clutch in. IDK im just saying.

Good stuff.
How does the ground just "go bad" suddenly? I made my own Grounding kit so hopefully i wont have many grounding problems

you got me... Maybe somehow when I was taking the header out/putting it back in, I knocked something loose. But I dont see any grounds anywhere near the header, so who knows...
