Thread: VE P10 swap not starting

so after kickin my own ass for 2 days on this mother trucker i go to fire her up, nothin, no fuel pump buzz, no cranking from starter.. nodda.. checked all the wiring ect.. still nodda tryed another ecu, nodda..

this isnt my first rodeo lol, an im freakin lost! they usualy come to life right away.. really hoin the wiring harness didnt get damaged some how, but im pretty sure it didnt..


any ideas guys?

Did you pull the harness out of the car when you did the swap? Check all the plugs maybe something isn't plugged in right.

Did you plug your interior harness back in?

i swapped the harness from the old engine to the new one while it was out of the car, when i dropped the motor back in i only had a few things to plug in, like the 3 under the battery tray.. an maybe a few more.. all 3 interior plugs are in also

I'd go over the harness with a fine tooth comb then. I never pull it out when I do the swaps to avoid problems like this. Might be a broken wire some where.

shat!

i always pull the harness out w/ so its easy to swap on to the new motor, an then i dont have to lay under the car or anything

i'll report back later with findings..

Ignitor,positive & Neg Terminal Connection, Ignition,battery Relay

IF NOT

PRESS STUPID BUTTON ON CLUTCH PEDAL.. USE A PHILLIPS THIN TO PRESS IT IN IF OEM RUBBER IS GONE.. THIS HAS HAPPEND TO ME A BUNCH OF TIMES.. BUT AGAIN U SAID FUEL PUMP ISNT TURNING ON.

update:

so i went out there with my tester, the 3 plugs under the battery tray, none of em are getting power.. key on or off, tps, no power key on or off

the only one gettin power is this weird lil plug, an its only 1 wire getting power..


other then that nothin on the engines gettin power.. the dome light comes on, the dinger dings when the doors open..

i dont think it matters, but i dont have my alternator hooked up, at all.. should still start tho, or something..


i still need to get under the dash an recheck those plugs, but im sure they're good.. also i tried the stock ecu an the calum basic.. still nodda..

im starting to think the harness is toast, but im really hoping that isnt the case

Hook up your alternator man, and check all related fuses.
