HELP, Wiring for Starter and Alternator

[skyline3489]

im wiring my sr20 up and dont know where this wire goes, also when i cranked motor i just hear the starter clicking?

[vocationalzero]

It looks like it is bundled with the alternator set of wires so it would be a ground. If it's like the redtop then there is a bolt that has like a 6 or 8 mm head on it that is just to the left (towards the driver side of the car) of the lead power wire of the alternator.

Its a ground, make sure you started is grounded as well, or it wont start and just click like u say.

i just tested the started and it works perfect so its not the solenoid so ima reinstall and see if itll work

ok i just installed the starter again now it makes the clicking noise over and over then does like a very low crank, then stops. is this cause im running the battery off jumper cables to the car?

k guessing it was because of me running off the jumper cables since i dropped to 4.5 volts when i crank engine over

he's right. attached the ground wire from the Battery to the base of the block on the intake side.

ok i tried starter again this time my engine was cranking over very slowley

either A. bad connection or B. not a good battery. Mine was clicking once and not turning the motor over. I have to continue allowing it to click and click as i turn from ON to START position and eventually it decides to spin over.

But I would defiently get battery tested - might not be making the cranking amps you need. . .

My motor just kept clicking once, but when i tighten down the battery it turned over -__-'

ight my guess is that since im waiting for my battery to be shipped i ran my old battery off jumper cables to the car, so Monday i get my new battery and then ill strap that baby down and hope it fully cranks over
