ignition questions

[stew_7mgte]

Ok so i just spent a crap load of money rebuilding the motor and getting everything put back together. What my situation is everything works until i turn the key to start. Then nothing. And i mean nothing, starter doesnt click or anything but the turbo timer does engage... normally i could figure this out but im asking for help because the car has an hks fcon and hks vpc installed and the harness is a bit modified because of it. It also has an aftermarket alarm system that is functioning.

Any ideas on where to start or what to check?

Did you check the basics first?

- Check battery and/or replace with a known good one
- Temporarily remove TT
- Temporarily remove alarm system

It realy could be anything, from a broken starter relay up to wrong wiring or just your battery gone bad.

Good luck!

Battery is good, a little low but plenty to atleast engage the starter. Not sure what the TT is... im going to go through all the fuses and wires today but i did a quick check not too long ago and all fuses were fine. Theres a wire that comes out of the drivers fuse box in the car that is run to the engine bay, not sure why or what it was supposed to go to...

TT = turbo timer

Yea that seems pretty obvious now

Clutch safety switch.

Yea i should look into that. PO stated that it went out on him and he wired up a pressure switch in the door. I tried numerous combinations but still nothing.

Ugh, sounds like the wiring could be a serious clusterfuck

He wired up the clutch switch to acitvate when the door is shut????!! Wtf!

Just bypass it and leave car in neutral.

I was just thinking...You didn't do an auto to manual conversion , right?
