    ok, just got it back together and now it wont start

    Well, I just put everything back together.(tcase and changed plugs is all i did) everything is connected, and when i turn the key, all i hear is the relay click twice. Whats the deal? I checked the starter wires, and they are all fine. Checked all engine connections and are fine. checked all fuses in engine bay and tehy are fine. What am I missing?

    Plug in key, turn key, and hear click click. Not once has the car even turned over. not once. I actually have the click click start relay fix on my car too. But I have never had it not even try to turn over.

    help? Mike

    Check your PTU and be sure it didn't come loose.

    Did you have the starter out for any reason? I see a lot of people forget to attach the neg. battery cable to the starter bolt...

    its either too low on power to turn over, ignition is jank, or the starter is messed up. gotta get it to turn over before we can narrow down anything else

    Check all the connections around the plenum. Also tap the starter with a hammer.

    Have you atleast started with the simplest of all solutions and attempted to jump it or check the available voltage at the pump?

    ^Id try jumping it, voltage may be too low. You could try the old screw driver on the starter

    voltage on the battery is 13.4v. I am going to try and bypass the clutch safety switch. I messed with that while i was adjusting the clutch pdeal and wonder if i messed up the connector. Then, if that doesnt work i will check all the wires to the starter and check my voltages there also. Just seems like im not gettting any power to the starter
