Now Another Problem.....

So I've got the fuel pump in, everything connected, even the battery, and I tried to turn it over, but nothing. Any ideas why it won't turn over?? This is a 91 JDM TT motor in a 94 base 3000GT, along with a JDM ECU and harness. Thanks or the help.

Battery dead?
Positive from battery, and trigger wire both hooked up to starter?
Engine not grounded?
Blown fuse?
Bad starter?

Does it do anything, buzz or click at least? Grab a mulitmeter and start testing.

Battery definitely not dead, I'll double-check the starter, engine is grounded. Which fuse? And it's the same starter I was using before. No buzzing, but the fuel pump clicks.

Lets make sure your terminology isnt wrong. Is the engine cranking? If it is then the engine is turning over, its just not firing.

OK, so I checked the starter, it's definitely got current to it. I checked the relay in the fuse box under the hood, and no power?? There is also every 10 seconds or so the sound of a motor turning in the hatch lid. Any idea what that is?? I also do not have headlights. Did I somehow bypass part of the fuse box??

Nope, it's not doing either. And there is definitely power to the starter, but not the relay?? And a few other issues that I wrote about in the next post up.

Does the smaller wire on the starter have voltage when you turn the key to start?

The motor in the rear is the power antenna. If you want you can cross the big wire on the starter to the small wire. It should turn over then. Then its just a matter of figuring out why you have no power to the smaller wire.

It can't be the power antenna. It's not plugged in. And it's coming from the trunk lid, not the side. Also tried the jumping idea. No joy.
