[ta_ma3750]

i just finished up my sr20 swap and i got all my fluids in got a new battery and got in to start it up and when i turned the key it wouldnt even crank over all my electronics work but i cant get the damn thing to crank any ideas or help would be fantatstic cause i really dont wanna have to take it to a shop to get the problem fixed if i can figure it out myself

check the spark plugs? or do you even have spark plugs in the car?

getting fuel (fuel pump) etc.

my problem is it not cranking not combustion or ignition, i cant even get the starter to turn

Is your starter hooked up? Does the motor turn by hand? Was the car an auto originally?

[ta_ma3750]

nope its always been a manual and the starter is all wired in

You didn't answer the question of if the motor turned by hand. Even the strongest starter can't start a car if the motor is seized up.

The same goes for making sure the clutch is disengaging properly.

Are you getting a click sound when you turn the key for the starter? It could be a bad starter selenoid, which you'll either have to track down a used starter, or have yours rebuilt.

An easy way to check the starter for operation is to unbolt it from the trans and have someone bump the key switch and see if the starter's gear pops out.

I got the starter problem fixed it turns out that i just knocked a connector loose when i was doing other work on it and it cranks just fine now but its revealed a second problem, it wont start now and ive got plugs and what im thinking is the plugs are just bad but im looking for any other ideas if anyone has any

You're not giving us much to work off of. Do you have spark? Do you have fuel? Do you have compression?

no worries problem solved i was just getting ahead of myself and trying to rush this swap before snow falls so i can at least take it for a test drive
