aight i bought a 89 4dr EF as my winter beater,the reason for puttin in a new tranny was because the one that was in there shattered! so after we install the tranny and get everything ready to fire it up,it turns over but wont start.ran all the self tests and that came up good. another thing thas puzzling me is that when the tranny is in gear and the clutch pushed in,the SOB doesn't move!

can any of u EF heads help me up?????

 

Try a new starter. I recent bought a CRX that didn't start. The car cranks but very weak. Put in a new one and the engine fired up.

 

Did you attach the grounds near the starter solenoid wire?

His car turned over (cranked). It just dont have enough power to get it started.

 

it cranks fine and everything,but its like its sputtering to fire up!

i might try a new dizzy cap and rotor button see if that works....the other prob is when the clutch si pushed in with the car in gear it doesn't even roll!!!!

when you put the trans back on did it just slip back on or did you force it back on, by getting the trans just close enough and the put the bolts in and tighten them up?

well for the tranny mounting part i wasn't present! my friends put the tranny on while i ran to ny house so by the time i got back the tranny was on!

what do u think would cause this prob.?

 

yes i did that once, it jammed the clutch into the flywheel and kinda locked everything up

and what tranny did you put in??

 

its an Si tranny from a Rex thas on the stock motor!!!
