Default Car won't start (i never wanted to make one of these)

engine is a d16z6 in my 94 ej2. never had a problem with it starting until yesterday.
i have had cel's since i got the car (iacv, tps, vtec solenoid) and never gave it problems....

the only thing i replaced was the transmission ground cable (today)

but for the past few days my cluster has been acting almost possessed and putting my water temp gauge all the way up. now the starter won't crank at all.

note.. starter was changed not even a year ago to a brand new one.

check the grounds over again, if all of them are ok start by checking the input to the starter with the key cranking..(small wire with connector to the starter) is your battery charged?

Did the no start condition start right after you changed the trans ground?

Keep in mind that just because you jump a battery and let it run doesn't mean its at full 12-12.5 voltage.
