Just finished installing a Hellion twin setup and a Circle D converter along with triple hat and ID1300's. Went to start it up and nothing. Starter clicks but doesn't turn over. I've checked all the grounds, all the plugs for the computer, and fuel pressure. Car ran before the install. I'm tire as hell so I know I've got to be missing something. What else am I overlooking? Was hoping to get on the dyno Saturday and have it ready in time for TX2k.
Help. Car won't start
- Thread starter firedog90
- Start date
Have a fuel pressure gauge on regulator? Have psi and what is it?
Insert key, place in park, turn key clockwise
Starter clicks? This sounds silly but... Dead battery??
I was thinking the same thing.....have you tried jumping it or another battery?
Lol that was my first guess as well.
^^^ I'm with these guys. If it was a fueling issue it would still turn over. Also make sure the negative is well seated on the battery post. I had mine on, but not well mind you, and caused it to act dead/click. Seated the negative on the battery really good and BAM started right up.
Take the battery to get load tested somewhere.
I would normally say dead battery but I had it hooked up to a battery charger. I didn't check fuel pressure. I'll see what it's at tonight after class.
Another common problem when switching injectors sometimes the fuel rail dumps a bunch of fuel in the cylinder. Pull all the plugs out and make sure none of the cylinders are filled with fuel. Best way to do this is by pulling all of the plugs and turning the motor over with the starter.
Got it figured out. It was none of the above. Ended up being the plugs that come off the fuse box and ecu being switched. Fired right up after that. Thanks.
