ok, i changed my transmission 2 days ago and afterwards i get everything wired up (been 5spd swapped for 6 years now) and i go to turn the key and NOTHING just the lights in the dash and thats it. no chug-chug,nothing. i took the starter to autozone tested good. got some suggestions on how to "hotwire" the starter. starts fine that way.

so now i am at a loss, all fuses are good all connections are tight. battery is charged. i used my parts car (the wifes) to see if it was the ignitiuon switch. nope thats not it. so now i am stumped, anyone have any suggestions? my next option is to make a push button start, so if anyone has any experience in that area i would welcome that advice as well.

thanks.

 

How exactly do you have the park/neutral sensor wired up?

That's most likely your problem.

 

how exactly did you hot wire the starter...

check the clutch interlock switch aka park neutral switch... i bet its not hooked up...

 

by way of the swap instructions. its been the same for 6 years do it kinda throws me as to why its not working.

 

wire from positive terminal to solinoid plug, had wife turn the key and voila, it starts.

 

What you need to do is run a jumper across the P/N connector, see if it starts then.

Likely it's not working now because of a wire mixup, or something else, since you just worked in the area.

 

just make sure its hooked up and working...

 

you got a pm coming

 

either one of you guys know how to do a push button start?

 

just use the key... ur dont driving a spaceship..

 

the key aint starting the car. i would use the push button to "kick" the starter. ....spaceship.

 

IIRC it's in the FAQs, but any remote start 'kit' or button you buy should come with instructions and a wiring diagram.

 

what page? im lookin but drawing a blank.

 

problem solved. i grounded one wire. a wire which i NEVER had to ground before. and it started right up. thanks for the input everyone. it helps to have more than one mind working on a problem.

 

Hey. Just saw your thread regarding this. Glad you got it figured out.

 

im gonna come by the shop in a few. can you plug up my car?

 

I think it may be ECU time for you..

It turns out TS cannot do reflashes on Saturdays. I am going to end up taking the trip to LA during the week. Probably gonna go on Wednesday or something.

 

what made you come to that one?

 

let me guess ground wire to trans?

 

No, P/N harness. You don't need the ground to the trans casing, I took mine off years ago. It also wouldn't cause a no crank situation.

 

Thats what i meant.. ur right

 

I have a question....if anyone can help me please do...I have a 95 Max (VQ30DE) swapped it's an automatic n i wanted to know if a spec v tranny would fit without major complications.


Thanks

First, there's a sig for a reason, so you don't have to post your crap in every post you make.

Second, the 6MT in the Spec V? ...no. Not like it is, anyway, unless you make a custom bellhousing adapter for QR-VQ.

You could swap it in from the A33B/A34, if you want a 6MT. Or use the Spec V internals with a VQ bellhousing.

Why not just go with a 5MT? Cheaper, easier, more readily available.

 

yeah apparently the one wire i never touched before would be the one wire i need to make the car run.

thanks for the help again.

 

I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM, WHICH WIRE DID YOU GROUND??????

 

Drop the caps, no need to yell.

As he said, the PNP switch harness. There are only two wires there, figure it out.

 

ill look and post later.
