No start, after putting 95 motor into 91 240

[driftneil]

Hey there guys, Im just wrapping up a project and need to get this thing out of here. As the title states, I put a 95 otor into a 91 240sx. And Im getting a clicking when I go to start it. I looked thru the plugs, and the problem I assume is the front engine harness. The wires are differnt, and I wanted to know if anyone has dne this and knows how to replug this? I searched, and looked thru the FSM, but it gives no breakdows of the plugs themselves....I would like to avoid swapping the upper intake mani, so a diagram or soemthing would be nice. Thanks alot for reading.

Ok then, I guess I cant wait for a reply......I tore the manifold off, since its only 9 bolts and 2 nuts. So now Im waiting for a new intake gasket, to put the s13 manifold back on. I guess I will update this post when I get the gasket............Thanks for coming out!

check to make sure that the battery is charged. if it is coming from the starter you either have a weak battery or a significant voltage drop somewhere in you system. check your ground and power connections.

Ok I swapped the s13 manifold onto the motor, and still the same click.
The battery I know its charged, I guess I will run through my grounds again. And I will see if I get power to the starter later, It might possibly be a bad starter....Who knows??

Will the car try to start if I have the distributer timing a little off?
Are s13 and s14 plug wire different..i.e. will it give a no start click?

What is clicking, it should be obvious if its the starter or not.

[driftneil]

Its just one click, like as if the battery is totally dead.

And we have IGNITION!! The motor started today, and runs perfect! It was a bad starter, should have known. The original starter has too much corrosion on the terminals, so I swapped them out and it is good to go. Good thing I have tons of extra parts!!
