EK don't mean anything to me.
What kind of no start are we talking about? No crank? Crank but no start?

r u getting fuel?
does ur fuel pump prime?

White_hatch23

No crank, no start, theres power in the starter once you turn the key to run it drops down to .67 volts but theres no crank, and yeah the battery is good

green93hatch

what drops down to .67 volts?

White_hatch23

The starter voltage

Just curious, why did you take the motor out?

green93hatch

what does it do when you try to start any clicking or anything from the starter?

White_hatch23

I was gonna get a gsr from a friend but he never ended up selling it to me so i put it back in and now it doesnt want to start all the lights turn on.

White_hatch23

When i turn the key to the run position all the main relays click and the radiator fan turns on but the starter wont engage

So it just like clicks and doesn't crank? Are you sure everything is connected? It's a stick right? Try jump/push starting it.

If that doesn't work I'd re-check all your connections again. If that's all good I guess you need to diagnose the problem more.

it sounds like the battery is dead to me it dosnt take much power to run lights, fan, exc. it takes alot to start the car or the bendix in the starter might be stuck u can tap the starter with a hammer while tring to start it

SolScifen

have you tested the battery to know its good? is the ground on the starter making connection?
do the dash/radio lights go off when trying to start?

White_hatch23

alright so i left the battery charging for an hour and turns out i was missing the ground that connects to the tranny but now im getting sparks from there and it wont start

Fuel pump priming? Injectors spraying?

If you live in Colorado, you don't have an EK, just FYI. Read your VIN and get it right.

White_hatch23

White_hatch23

Im not sure i turned it off right away because of the sparks i dont want anything else to happend

?!!?! Maybe you should find out.

Are you sure you got the ground strap tight or even in the right spot? Is it even turning over now? If you think its a fuel problem try spraying starting fluid in it and see if it will run. If so you obviously have a fuel problem.
