Thread: vvl swap help

Im not sure what to test exactly or how. And no the battery hasnt, we tried to jump it and still no start. And didnt know that. Idk what to do now

Take the single lead off the starter, get a multimeter and back probe (simply stick the prong that is "positive" in the connector) and put the negative probe on something to ground it, have someone turn the key, if the multimeter reads 12 volts the ignition lead is good, if it reads nothing the circuit is open somewhere from the ignition switch to the starter solenoid. You can also check the clutch relay and manually press in the clutch interlock switch (this is what the clutch presses when you press down on it before you turn the key). Make sure that the ground coming off the battery is on the chassis in a clean spot (this is what grounds the engine and transmission which is what the starter presses on and grounds the starter to complete the circuit) I had a bad negative cable coming off the batter and had to replace it. If you replace it make sure you do it right -- the negative cable goes off the batter and onto the chassis and/or engine block NOT THE STARTER ITSELF!

Omg just got it. I manually. Pushed the couch switch and started

Sometimes with mine I have to press really hard on the clutch to make it start, my interlock switch has 210k miles on it so it is to be expected for little things like that to act up, get one from rock auto if you can't get it to work the way you need to

thanks alot brotha man! Glad you helped me through this dumb little fix haha for now, i told him to put a dime on the side of the hole and duck tape it on lmfao! Cause we have to find a plug for that hole.

Not a problem man, glad your buddy is back on the road! I hate to see an SE-R down!

Is the N1 throttle body gasket the same as the sr20ve? Or can i go pick one up from a DE for my VE?

N1 is much larger and has a different bolt pattern

Thanks, good to know. Where can i pick one up? I checked all over gspec already

Make one out of cardboard. a corn flakes box works great
