Now when i got to start her up everything powers up like lights everything then when i try and start it there is no sound at all just the electrical fan and the a/c fan that turn on so if i hold the key in the on position the fans run at full power ....... what have i done ???? i really want toget her started again


also i have no pressure in my clutch its a hydro tranny after i did the swap the pedal just dropped to the flooe and hasnt come back up since please please......... help me out guys thsi was my first swap and its been a disaaster.....

Does it turn over? Check for spark.

The Stance

nope it doesnt turn over at all ....... this is going to sound stupid but how do i check for spark ??? and if there is no spark how do i rectify that problem ?

The Stance

BUMP!!!

Maybe you forgot to put a ground back on?

Also after you do a swap you should bleed the clutch.

The Stance

well as of right now the only grounds i have are valve cover to fram negative battery terminal to fram and tranny bracket to frame.


there is no pressure at all the pedal just dropped to the floor like it was nothing if bleeding does not work what other potential problem mayb be causing the pedal to remain on the floor ?

You probably need to change the ECU. Try and check if works by connecting it to a OBD2 scanner. Did you make sure you use the same year of wiring harness as your ECU?

make sure the thermostat ground is tight and keep bleeding the clutch

The Stance

jacket my car and motor are both obd1 ..... but thanx


something as simple as a missing or lose ground will prevent the engine from turning over ??? even though i have power as soon as i turnthe key all the way forward there is nothing but silence....... no clicking no turning no nothing........

sounds like a loose wire to me

Andres-eh2

he said he only had two grounds? he is mising something there!

Is the positive wire that comes from the battery tight on the starter?

Did you hook up the alternator wire, not plug but wire?

blue2ksi

i did that when i re-did my grounds... or when i fucked up the first time somehow... check the tranny one. actually, keep the stock one on there and work over it, that's what i did

The Stance

alright well today ive re done all the connections again ........ i also cleaned all the spots where the wires actually touch.......... right now this is what i have connected

valvecover to frame (ground)
starter motor to (positive batery terminal)
negative battery terminal to frame
tranny ground to negative battery terminal
thermostat ground is connected
alternator wire not plug is connected


there is still nothing the only thing that turns on when i put the key in the on position is the stupid electrical fans which increase or decrease in speed as i turn the key.......


what am idoing wrong ??? what can i do to test certain systems so that i can finally start this engine back up and drive her again ........


ps. when will u be able to make more then 5 posts perday ???

check you relay's in your underhood fuse box, and make sure your tranny ground is on tight as hell, i just had the same problem, my rad fan relay was blown and it kept turning on when i tried to start it up

The Stance

thanx to everyone for there help turns out it was a combination of missing grounds and poor connections as well as a blown blower motor fuse the middle one of the three in the box by the battery.......

now the bitch purrrrsss............ gutted Dx hatch with a z6 and boltons gutten rolln on 13's........ wonder how well she willl move....
