I just finished an auto to manual swap and now my lude won't turn over.
It's not the main relay and it's not the distributor.

The only two things I removed from the bay when I did the swap was the intake manifold to give me clearance when installing the hard line. But we reinstalled that back in and there is spark coming from the plugs.

Anyone have any ideas?

Also there are two plugs disconnected that I can't find where they go to. They are underneath the intake manifold. One is for the knock sensor (which broke) the other is a pink and black/yellow wire plug. Do you think any of these could cause my car not to start up?

 

So it cranks though? I'd check fuel delivery.
If possible check fuel pressure while cranking.

Also, pull your gas cap and listen if theres compression occuring (after you've turned ignition to accessories a couple times to pressurize tank).

 

have you checked all of your fuses.

Fuses are all good.

How do I check the fuel pressure?

 

With a fuel pressure gauge.

If your car drove before you worked on it, the fuel pressure should work fine.

You probally dont have something connected right.

 

Heres a no brainer are the plugs in the right firing order?

I never took the head/distributor, or coil out. Only the intake manifold.

What do you mean something isn't connected right?

I just checked the fuses. Everything is good. I also Undid the 17mm nut where the fuel line connects to the fuel rail, and fuel came out of it. So I know theres fuel being sent. Is there a certain tq setting for that?

Do any of you know if that pink and black/yellow plug underneath the car would prevent the car from starting?

 

??

 

Try this... It's the big brown plug next to the shifter, it should have plugged into the auto shifter assembly.

Okay, would of been an easy fix if that was it.

If you can go take a pic of what the wire harness is, Id be glad to go check out what it is on mine. I know I have one plug that isnt connected to anything, but its not the plug you have listed above.

 

That was done already. Matter of fact, I ditched that brown connector and just connected them directly.

 

Haha just checking, you never know.

 

Do you think it could be because my oil pressure switch is disconnected? (the connector below the oil filter) ????

HELP PLEASE. I need my car running by my court date for my stupid tint ticket.

 

helpppppp

 

Anyone????????????

 

It may as well be the oil switch, might be a saftey cutout on the ECU. If the oil pressure it too low it might keep the engine from turning over so you don't burn it up.

 

I checked the grounds and they're all fine. Fuses are good too.
