my car is a 96 s14 auto, into which I have transplanted an entire 95 manual drivetrain; engine, transmission, wiring harness from right side of firewall (ecu) all the way to the ignition. I hear the fuel pump when I turn the ignition, but there is no turning over. Could it be that the auto car does not have the sensor to plug into the clutch pedal? (the one that engages when the clutch is mashed) how do I bypass this so that the engine will turn over? use laymans terms if you can so that it doesn't totally go over my headthanks
