I have done a motor swap and the auto to manual swap also. The car will not start. The starter is doing nothing. The manual pedal assembly has a switch on the clutch put there is no place on the car to hook it up to. Are there certain wires where the auto shifter was that i need to hook up to tell the ecu that its in park so it will start. The ecu is sending a code 0. Any help would be greatly apprecated.

 

code 0 i believe means dead ecu...check the connections going to the ecu, fuses and all

 

Yes there are wires where the auto shifter use to be. There are 3 you need to hook up. There use to be a site but I forgot it. Anyways you have to make the car think its not in gear. Second you have to make the car think its in park so you can get the key out. And the other one was for the reverse lights I think. Well I remeber the big black wire you need to loop it, and then you will see a red wire that you need to loop. Kind of hard to explain it.

 

for the starting thing, hook up the 2 thickest wires together ( i think theyre black/white )
for reverse lights, there are 2 wires coming off the top of the transmission, hook those up to the green/black and solid yellow wires at the auto shifter.

Hey brad just looked at my car and I didnt see a plug for the clutch cable but my pedal assembly has the sensor for it. Maybe the hf has a sensor(thats what i got pedals from).
