I just swapped a d16z6 into a 91 hatchback. All the lights come on and the engine light clicks off. Then i try to start it and it just clicks once. No start. I don't even hear the fuel pump prime. What fuse is for the fuel pump? i don't have the diagram under the dash or on the fuse panel under the hood. I cleaned the battery terminals. Any ideas?

 

bump

 

really you bumped after 7 min lol. check that the engine isnt seized and actually turns freely also the starter could be no good

 

Check ALL fuses

Main relay

Grounds

 

would the tranny ground have any effect on the clicking? i even took jumper cable and use both negative side and put it on the start and the frame and still nothing

 

I heard the engine start before i pulled it....

 

If the tranny isn't grounded the car WILL NOT start

 

but i used jumper cables to the tranny? where is the d16z6 tranny ground?

 

and the tranny ground effect the fuel pump not priming?

 

the starter clicking means its getting a signal, but if the starter is bad then at times it will start and at other times it will just click and nothing else try to tap the starter while trying to crank the engine sometimes they get hung up

 

Could also be a dead battery...You can try this to check the starter. Put into first gear with the parking brake off and rock the car back and forth. This will slowly turn over the engine and move the starter. It might start after that

 

that wont move the starter because the starter isnt engaged unless your trying to crank the car. if that were true your starter would be consatntly spinning while driving

 

The guy above me is right. The pinion gear in the starter only comes out when needed to turn the flywheel. It wont come out if not getting enough power, or the hold in solenoid went bad.

 

Okay. The starter doesn't click. Its coming from under the dash by like the ecu.

 

My smaller start wire does not have power... my dash lights come on and the engine light clicks off. But the FUEL PUMP DOES NOT PRIME. What could cause the fuel pump not to prime and the starter wire to have no power? iv checked every single fuse. my battery is 100% charged.

 

Main relay? Grounds?
