I have a 94 cx and the motor **** the bed. I replaced it with a jdm d15b but retained the cx tranny and starter. It was running good for a couple of weeks, then it all went to hell. First when i went to start it i noticed it started kind of hard, i just thought it was cold so i blew it off. Later im driving and i noticed my speedo starts to bounce from 0 to whatever mph i was driving at. Now i knew something was up. I went to homedepot to pick something up and when i came out it didn't start. It would just click. So, i checked the grounds, power wire, signal wire etc.. everything seemed ok. I pushed it then popped the clutch to get it running. I got it back home, tore the starter off, took it to autozone, and they said it was bad so, i bought a new starter. I put it in and it clicked just like the other one so i took a volt meter to the power wire and it has power there. I did the same to the signal with the ignition is turned and its all good there. I noticed the battery was a little low so i put some jumpers on and try to start it and it trys to crank but then dies. I check and cleaned the grounds, chassis, tranny, t-stat, v-cover, all good. I even replace the hotwire going to the starter. I checked all fuses, all is good there aswell. I am stumped, im not sure where to go with this now. PLEASE HELP! this is my daily driver and i have no other way to get around

if your battery is draining and you just replaced you starter i would think about replacing the alternator. as for your ground wires, they may look good but probably still needs replacing.

 

well i bypassed the signal wire by taking a wire and touching one side to the battery and the other side to the terminal and it fired right up so i think its my ignition switch.
