Ok after figuring out things from trial and error and having everything done and plugged and wired up now I come to find my car will not start.
PROBLEM:I have power to the engine,ignition etc... I turn the key to the start position and at first the starter trurned over just a little but showing that battery was dead. Gave the battery a jump from another car try again same thing and sometimes I would hear a relay type click (just one click) I let battery charge for over 10 minutes try again and same thing or just no click at all. Changed the battery to try to see if it would eliminate the problem Same thing but now i just get a click most of the time.

IVE TRYED: Changing battery , jump starting it from another car ...Ive also checked on the igniton to make sure every wire is on there good.I was told to hit the starter with a tire iron that sometimes the start sticks. PLEASE HELP With this problem(YES I DO HAVE POWER INSIDE THE CAR RADIO OPERATES/LIGHTING .eTC! DASH AS WELL!

 

Also do I have to bleed my Radiator someone told me after a motor swap i should bleed the radiator in case of air being inside of the hosing is this true?

 

so is the starter turning over at all now?? if so hitting it will do no good if not then a hit could do it dont try to kill it by hitting it though

and fill radiator up and overflow tank to full mark let it warm up after you get it running and top off after a cool down

 

Yes the starter will turn over sometimes

 

check the ground wires

 

make sure EVERYTHING is connected. it sounds like a bad ground.

 

The Ground which ground chassis to engine ground?

either of'em. just make sure everythings connected up the way it is.

 

Battery-chassis
Tranny-chassis
Valve cover (or power steering pump)-chassis
Engine harness-thermostat

Missing any?

 

All passenger grounds have been checked and all are in working conidtion. Also now i just get a click from the starter just one click when i turn the key over to the start position ..I also had a fuel leak on all 4 injectors when i went to go hit the starter again what does this mean that my injectors and fuel rail are not tightened enough ? Could my starter just be fried? I can't push start my car because its still on a lift.. So is there any way i can use a volt-meter to see if my starter is working properly?

injectors leaking? maybe the 0-rings are goners or you just need to tighten'em up.

if your starter still doesnt work, then you might want to check some fuses. especially if everythings connected up. it should at least crank.

i have a FSM that i downloaded from here and it tells you how to test pretty much anything on the car. i cant remember off the top of my head how to test a starter. im thinking you have to just jump it.

maybe you didnt hook up all the clips no the ECU side? like that green one. lol. i did that the last time i pulled out my motor. then i was like "wtf?" checked everything and it was coo..then i finially got to the ecu side and i didnt connect the green plug. lol

 

Ok ill check for that green plug . Also I will try to tighten my injectors if not ill buy new o - rings? And yeah its not much even turning over at all i havent heard my engine sounding like its ready to crank at all

so its not cranking either? maybe the starter is dead. you do hear the relays click...so....maybe its the starter? no busted fuses?

 

Yeah i hear relay type click Checked all fuses all in working condition used my Fuse tester in and outside fuses all good. So starter is gone ?

 

UP!

 

do u hear the fuel pump when u go to try and start it?? id say the starter is done though.

 

Ok well I hear the fuel pump and everything else like I said is working so its gotta be my starter then

 

yeah try n test the battery to the starter directly.

 

nd how do i do that? jumper cables?
