You just answered your own question. Get a wire diagram and chase the starter wire. Check grounds, fuses, relays, and the starter power wire. You will fin your issue. Good luck it's always fun chasing motor swap issues.

Replaced all ground wires with new ones and terminals, the relay isnt clicking period. But the fuse box is getting full power and the starter power cables getting constant full pwr

SACK! >>>>>:burn:<<<<< your car! Burn it to the ground!

Seriously though make sure you give a good description. You relocated the battery to the trunk. Ran the + from battery to the fuse box. :shrug:

Do you have a volt meter? Check from the relay backwards. If the relay isn't getting power then keep tracing backward until you find where the power stops.

Pats? Did you change the ecu?

Check PATs..

+1 is the theft light blinking when you put the key in and try to crank it?

 

[tpr103]

Still running the factory ecu, so the pats shouldn't matter.

Yeah tpr is right, still on my 2v computer and no anti theft light

Now when I turn the key on the theft light flashes and my e fans on

Try adjusting the clutch again if that is something you think it could be. Exact same issue came up when I replaced the clutch in my fox. Got down, adjusted the clutch to where it engages near the top, so it has to tell the car it's engaged. Started right up, then adjusted the pedal travel again.

Yeah I gave it a quick once over a couple days ago, tommorow ill dig into it
