I changed my head gasket and I put my engine back together, and tryed very hard to remember where every connector was... but now that i am "done" the engine wont turn over. i can hear the fuel pumping, but no starter motor.

Does anyone have a picture of where all the connectors on the engine are located? I have the helms and its not helping me. It tells me to connect this and that, but doesnt show where each one is. Help!

BTW I searched, but I couldnt find anything in a reasonable amount of time... I can't sit here and search for 3-4 hours, I have school and work.

 

just to give you some advise for the next time you do it, its always a really good idea to label your wires, before you remove them

 

I learned that the hard way

 

well first check if all your grounds are on, people often forget to put the one on the thermostat on (i forgot too) and then tell us how it goes.

 

Check the black white wire on the starter solenoid if that isn't plugged in the engine will not turn over. if you have extra wiring, post the color of the wire on here maybe i can help

 

yeah, the first time i did a motor swap i did the same thing, thinking i would rememeber, but ya never do, but ya id check all the things these guys have said, they are very knowledgeable and they wont steer ya wrong

 

do you have a helm manual?

Yeah, i do, but its not helping me find all the plugs very well... in section 6 where it shows how to take off and reinstall the head... it only tells to unplug this or that... but doesnt show me where they are.

I dissasembeled the car over a month ago and now i dont remember where all of them are at... But I am going to look into the things suggested here, browse through the helms a little more... I'll ask more questions if needed after that.

Why do you ask?

 

Ok so now I have a new problem. I got the car to turn over and then start... but it immediatly revved up to wide open throttle even though i wasnt hitting the gas.

How can i troubleshoot this?
