I am going to echo Toddluck's statement. Make sure that ground is grounded well. I missed one ground when swapping the motor in my Civic (well, grounded it in a different spot I thought it had gone to) and no start but it turned over. Killed me for a good half hour. Then I realized my mistake.
@charlesskelter so should i just strip the paint of certain parts of the frame to make sure that it has a really good ground? because unless there is a hidden ground somewhere i havent missed any. which is really befuddling me
what i would do if i where you, i would go to that one ground that you keep talking about and chip away the paint that is underneath that ground strap, if there is any paint. just throwin my two cents in.
