Ok i have just finished putting a newer engine in my 87 N/A. I have it wired up i checked all fusses and battery is brand new. For some reason when i go to turn the key it clicks and makes the noise as if the battery is dead(its not). I have been looking for loose grounds...and every thing in between. I have been trouble shooting it for awhile now and im out of ideas.... Any ideas let me know...thanks

 

sounds like it might be the Starter....Give it a couple of LOVE taps with a hammer!!!If that doesnt work,thats probably it!!!

 

Its all good little man. Like the guy above me said. Source out the starter. Tap it with a hammer lightly. Then try. If that doesn't work. You might need to check if the starter still works by testing it at a auto store.

 

And if it's not the starter recheck all your grounds, especially the EFI harness. Also, the AFM connection.

 

Thanks for the advise... I am going out to the garage today to work on it and im not gonna stop till it runs

 

I've got a '87 N/A too, and mine did the same thing to me. It was the starter. Once I replaced it, everything was fine.

You are new to the site so the first time is on us. Don't use dumb *** thread titles like "I need help". Damn, dude, we all need help. Try using a descriptive title like "Is my starter dead?" It is not as annoying and you'll probably get more looks and responses.
