short story, eg hatch was stolen months ago and i drove it home once it was found on an empty gas tank.

restored the car with all the parts it needed and painted it.

sat for 2 months or so.

put 2 gallon of gas into it 2 days ago and tried to get it started. the MAIN RELAY clicks consistently when the key is on or when cranking. all the car does is turning over and over and over and nothing.

whats causing the main relay to do that? or whats causing the car to not turn on?

ignition is new (new/used) and car had a new battery in there. also automatic.

 

check your main grounds! the clicking is from a lack of voltage normally caused by a bad ground or simply loose ground wire! if grounds are good battery.

I'd go ahead and unbolt the relay and pull the plastic cover off and inspect the joints.. search on here there are write ups for this.
