Thread: wont turn over

just finished the ve swap and wiring. the ignition will not work. if i just the starter solenoid off the battery it will start right up. i think i might have a bigger issue because this car was an auto 4 door b13 that i did a ve swap in and converted to manual. there is an extra cable going in to the lock cyl, and extra wires near the shifter

So the second harness I gave you worked,or did you use the original one I gave you?

Check the flat plug under the dash I told you I forgot before.Its behind the ac/radio.
Also,there is a fuse for the ignition under the hood by the battery.
I have pooped that one by accident before and it will do exactly like you say.

i got all that plugged in, and im using the second harness. the first was missing ass the plugs near the ecu. i think its something to due with not having a neutral safety switch any more.

yeah you have to jump the neutral switch. Thats a given. Its tied in with the inhibitor clutch relay (aka starter)

Did u plug in the right plug in the coil. I've heard of people plugging in the wrong plug before

ill try jumping the neutral switch tomorrow. if it works then im doing a 7500 rpm open header burnout through ptec's autobody program lol

itll run if i just the starter solenoid to the battery. the problem is i cant use the key to start it. plus it is running then dying.

It runs. drove it for 2 hours today. runs great. wiring vvl tomorrow

so what was the problem?
