clutch safety switch?

My freshly installed 13bt swap (jdm not rebuild) won't start. My fuel pump does not turn on, and the car won't turnover. I'm pointing the not turning over at the neutral safety switch which is not located on my jdm tranny at all. How do I bypass this safety switch on the harness? Could the fuel pump not working be because of a bad ground? It worked perfect when my n/a was in there.

their is going to be a little yellow connector on the passenger side that you could jump to see if you can here the fuel pump pumping. you have to have the car on the on possition for that to work.

clucth safety only bypasses the starter... not the fuel pump. Has nothing to do with the fuel pump

well i never had to rewire my fuel pump. i swapped a tII into a 88 se and i thought that i had to use the fuel pump resitor relay but i didn't have to. i have a tII fuel pump also. just pluged it right in.

I know that, I just worded my sentence wrong. My fuel pump won't turn on, I swapped my n/a one back in to see if it worked but no go, any of you guys have an assumption of what the problem may be, its and 88' engine high imp. I got it to turn over and it sounds strong, just the fuel pump won't work.

The fuel pump only runs when the key is HELD TO START.......or the engine actually starts and the key is ruturned to ON........or if the key is turned to ON AND the fuel pump check connector is jumpered.

None of which matters. Your problem is you routed your fuel lines backwards. Swap the two lines at the engine and be on your way.

it's a jdm engine, the fuel flows the opposite direction. My FPR is on the bottom rail and the PD is on the top. Should I switch the fuel lines at the gas tank around?

No. Just swap them at the engines left side. That's all that is needed. Same two hose, just on the opposite pipes. No other lines need changing.

Then either try to start the car or install the fuel pump check connector and put the key to ON and listen for fuel flow.

It's getting fuel, my pulsation dampner is on top and the FPR is on the bottom, should fuel go into the bottom rail and out the top, or vise versa. I am getting fuel, I'm getting spark, it just won't start now. DO the T1 L1 go to the front housing right?
