engine swap, wont start.

finally got around to finishing the engine swap (13B into SA), hooked everything back up, turn the ignition and...nothing.

did some looking around, tested various things and when starting the car there is no current at the solenoid plug, not entirely sure how to go about tracing this back to the real problem.

anyone had a similar problem or know the anwer?

if the RX is sad, im sad

Then that would tell me that the starter is not getting the signal from the ignition (key) part of the system. When you short the connection, does the motor rotate?
