I just finished my HM turbo install, everything is running perfect. Go to start it the next morning and it doesn't start.

I took the battery in to schucks and it was bad so I got a new one. Car still wont start, so I checked all the fuses and swapped my starter relay with the other one (that is just like it) to figure out if it was my culprit. No luck.

I took the starter out and got it tested it is perfect. I messed with the positive cable on the terminal and the starter, and it started up. So I replaced the positive cable with a new non corroded one, starts up perfect, drive to the store, and come back, wont start.

what could it be?

If it keeps up I will just put a start button or toggle switch and run it from the battery to the starter. but first do you guys have any ideas?

with the turbo install did you put in new injectors? Maybe its not getting enough fuel or something, also, depending on how strong the new turbo is, maybe your ignition doesnt give a strong enough spark... sorry if both of these suggestions are dumb, but im just trying to help...

does it crank over or no, need more information

My Fault,

no it does not turn over. The starter doesn't even fire up.

Mr_Bojangles

so?

Do this first check to see if your getting battery voltage to the starter one of the times that it dosent start up. Also when it dosent start up smack the starter with a hammer and see if it starts up.

its def the wiring or starter itself, take it off and bench test it, its just a coincidence that its wqas when you put in the turbo i bet

screwmesa

yeah, go with the hammer approach, never fails.

ive always had this problem. theres a lil male plug on the starter. pull it off, clean it n plug it back in. of if u got an alarm, that could be the problem. good luck lmk
