SO, my semi rebuilt B16a2 powerd EJ1 isnt starting due to lack of SPARK, ive changed all the fuses including main relay,got new dizzy,alternator,plugs/wires etc...

when attempting to start the car my friend noticed that my starter was shaking. the reason for the shaking is that one of the Bolts that hold the starter to the tranny isn't there... why? the threads are efffed up and i'm too lazy to tap new threads.

my question to you is that would my starter not being fully mounted cause the engine to lose spark or not start??

 

No, but you will have to get off your *** and heli-coil that damage thread and install a mounting bolt before you have bigger problems. 94

 

haha thanks man i will, what bigger problems might run into???

 

At the very least a damaged starter or flywheel, if the starter engages when misaligned it could break completely free of its mounting, [one bolt] taking a chunk of the tranny housing with it. 94

 

i believe that could be a reason for it not starting. there are two wires that go to your starter. the smaller gauge wire coming from your harness that goes to your ignition, and the ground that runs to your battery. if the starter isnt fully up against your tranny then youre not getting a good ground connection. goin thru the same **** right now so i hope this helps lol
