Just finished my swap and had it out at the track for a little test and tune. The car stalled for what ever reason 1/2 way through the day and when I went to start it.. Nothing. Car will bump start.

I have full power but not even the solinoid will click.

I checked:-Stater its self-Grounds-All fuses-Hitting solinoid itself with a hammer

Its raining but I am going to go get under the car with the multi-meter again.Any imput while I'm gone would be awesome.

Thanks

Could possibly be the neutral safety switch.

It's a little switch that makes sure you have the clutch pushed in, when starting. You'll have to get way under there to see it, but it's there.

Clutch safety switch was removed awhile ago. Thanks though.

The starter came with the motor-set, so nothing needs to be switched. It is a SR starter/solenoid for sure.

But what signal wire are you talking about?

What's weird is that the car started fine up until that point.

The signal wire that goes from the ignition to the back of the starter in the form of a slip on clip? Yes. Its on.

Do you get 12v at the "signal" wire when you turn your key to ON?

Yes, it is a slip on clip BTW
