just swapped a b18b into an eg hatch, got everything hooked up and it wont crank. It doesnt click as if the starter were bad. Dash lights come on. I have power going to the starter. What should i look for??? Also, if i have to, im not sure how to reset the ECU
did u mess with the timing? are you getting spark? fuel? check your ignition switch....and easy way to reset your ecu is just unplug your battery or on the passenger side under neath the dash...you should see a blue clip hooked onto a green rubber pieace..just pull it out and use a paper clip..stretch it out and make it into a u shape and insert it into the blue clip like connecting to connectors together..
Is it an automatic or 5 speed?
You say you have power everywhere except cranking to start.
If so, try a "bypass jump", make sure car is out of gear, park/neutral, using a piece of wire with one end connected to batt, pos.(+) touch the other end to starter motor solenoid trigger terminal, CAREFULL if starter motor is good engine will turn over, even if ign. switch is off, if ign. switch is on, [and all else is good] the engine will start, if this works the next thing I would check is the starter relay, [standard transmission] or "A/T Gear Position Switch", [automatic transmission]. 94
