give us more information on your setup to help you out.....

engine, car, engine harness, ecu, are your grounds ok?

what else did you actually check before you decided to post here?

no offense don't feed scary information like that lol.

check the little things first before you go and just replace something big

also double check your grounds as well as fuses and the main relay.

You are correct checking the small things is definitely the first approach, was just throwing it out there. Usually if its the main relay wouldn't the fuel pump not work also?

you forgot to put it in park.... electronically speaking

if you just unplugged and junked the white box that was on the side of the auto shifter assembly.. the car won't start. just like an auto car won't start except in park or neutral.

good news is if you jump the correct wires so that it thinks its in park, you'll be zipping along in no time

i don't have the diagrams, but i know i've seen them in the FAQ thread.

^^^ it sounds like he did because the car is turning over.. if it wasn't "in park" the car wouldn't crank at all.

no need to post pictures if the grounds are ok (transmission starter, wiring harness to thermostat, and valve cover) but be sure to check your fuses inside and out for anything that could have blown.

Yup. Is the CEL on? check the ACG fuse and the thermostat ground, and I mean really check, the thermostat ground can look fine at a glance and still be bad.

ACG fuse is in the main fuse panel inside the car, if that fuse is blown the car will not start, the engine will turn over, but wont start. Same thing with the thermostat ground.
