My car won't turn over. the starter is pumping but no turn over. Can I use the F22 starter with a H22 trans? whats going on wrong here? Should I need a bigger flywheel? could someone help me out here that has experience? so frustrated! thanks - mil

 

About the starter, yes you can. I'm using my F22 starter with my T2T4 F20B DOHC VTEC LSD trans on my H22 setup; everything ran fine.

No, I don't see why you would want a bigger flywheel. I'm running a Fidanza 8lbs flywheel with no problem.

Double check your positive battery terminal from the battery to the starter where it bolts to the starter. Also don't forget to tighten down the ground wire on the transmission housing or car won't start either. Double check all of your ground wires.

If car was running fine before the H22 trans was install, you did something that isn't right, so double check your work.

 

Ya, make sure the ground bracket is attached to the tranny.

 

Ya and make sure the grounds are clean. If not, sand them down to get a good ground.

 

ok guys its an F22 with an H22 trans. the starter its powering up just fine. but the motor isn't in motion or moving at all. so basically i have no idea whats going on. The starter sounds normal but no action to the motor. its CRAZY and pissing me off SO BAD. once again F22 with H22 starter kicking over but no motion on the motor itself. thanks -mil

 

Well did you bother to check any of the suggestions posted already?

 

Ok I'm an idiot. the motor is turning over. :p I was just confused and talking to my buddy when i was at his house last night. IT IS TURNING OVER ha. BUT it won't start. ok so

*I'm pretty sure i'm not getting a spark. (pulled a plug held it to metal and no
spark)

*Also my fuel gauge on my dash isn't doing anything (not sure if thats part of it)

every connection is connected all grounds are solid and yeah...tried all that stuff.

i think its just the no spark thing that is my problem I just don't know how to get to the bottem of the issue without spending a grip. thanks again -mil

 

Does the Check Engine Light at least come on for a few seconds when you turn the key to 'on'? If no, then check the ECU ground, usually near the thermostat.

 

strongly connected same other ground

 

all grounds are secure, very secure. The check engine light does come on for a second when the ignition is turned to the run position. thanks -mil

 

Do the tests for spark as stated in the Green and Blue boxes in the following link, to see if you can isolate it to a weak coil, spark plug wire, or distributor.
