uhh, . . . . . . . THIS IS MY FRIENDS auto 97 > to 5spd
i did the whole swap, and the car wont start, im getting spark, and fuel,
but it sounds like its firing out of order.
i redid this swap for the 2nd time. i redid everything, double checked everything and still no start, just constant cranking.
it sounds like it really wants to start but isnt.

does anyone know why this is happening? how can the timing get messed up from doing the swap?

i have a 97 auto ecu, a 96 ecu and a 95 ecu ( 95 and 96 are both 5spd)
none of them are working. the crank sensors ( 97 and 96) dont solve the problem either. i done know what to do.

if anyone knows what could be messing this up, plz help.
i checked the grounds, the wiring, spark plugs, coils,
the RPM gauge on the dash ISNT moving at all. thats supposed to do with the crank sensor... right? so i got my volt meter and checked it and its in specks.

uhhhgg! well if anyone can help plz do

 

run a couple grounds from the negative battery terminal to the starter, and another one to the tranny.

should fix your problem.

 

okay, ill try that

anything else if this doesnt work ?


im about to

 

Was it you that checked about the timing ring on the flywheel?

What CEL are you getting with the 5speed ECU(even auto ecu minus the tranny codes)

 

still no start

anyone else with some imput

what can i be messing up?

 

Just checking .. you plugged the crank sensor back in after the swap

 

What did you do with the P/N switch?

 

crank sensor is in CHECK!

P/N switch - wired up CHECK!

 

Starter bad maybe??? Those things can go at anytime. Does it crank or does it just click, if it clicks then starter is still decent. Check your plugs see if they are greased or oiled over. Did you remember to put fluids in the tranny. clutch engaged, clutch flywheel and tranny all snug together

just some ideas to help out

 

Did you use an oem flywheel or an aftermarket. If you used an aftermarket you need to take the timing ring (not the starter ring) off the oem flywheel and bolt it on.

 

did that ... not working

 

yep
yep
and yep


how did this get so messed up?

 

So does it crank or just click>?

 

Recheck your connections when you bypassed the park neutral switch or what ever it is called. Did you just bypass it or did you wire it up to the sensor on the clutch pedal? Also check your POS crank sensor.

 

kk
ill tell yea how it goes tomorow
