Does the motor turn over by hand like with a socket on the crank pulley

 

yes jus check right now

 

ok well what i would do is pull the starter out and leave it hooked in the car and have someone try and crank it and see if it spins out or not ?
also im not sure if your bay was painted ?? sometimes paint gets over the battery ground and it doesnt work also this just happened to me i put my motor in had the ground on the tstat housing but not on the tranny or valve cover and it did the same thing just hope some of this helps i know the frustration of electrical problems

 

check ecu ground on thermostat housing..

 

i sanded my chasis to bare metal where the ground is no paint on it. ima try a different power and ground cable tomorow.... thermostat housing ground is good i took the bolt out and sanded it down for better contact

 

what about the trans ground ??

 

i have the tranny ground ..... where tranny ground meets the chasis is where its sanded too. ima try the ground cable outta my other eg see what happens

 

WOW i when bought sum ground cables bc i had borow my hatch wires jus to turn it on. and when i was swaping them out my ground cable from my starter wouldnt stay connected. squeezed the wire so it would stay on, turned on first try.

 

Glad to hear you fixed the problem.

FYI -- The starter has no ground wire attached to it. It only has two power wires, one for the solenoid and one for the motor.
