so i try to install the lambo kit on my car....like 4 days ago...now my engine wont start...help....there is still lot of electricity left...i check....anybody can help?

 

first off,

check your battery cables/ connections

2 check the voltage at the battery.
you should have over 12.5 volts.
if you don't put a charger on it

does it make any noises when you try to start it?

 

i check battery cables connection...no problem there....check voltages .....no problem there...check main fuse box..no problem.....make no noise when start.....when turn ignition...audio deck turn off....wat's wrong?

 

So the car looses power as soon as you turn the key to start?

That's a classic case of bad battery cables or a dead battery. Make sure to not only check the cables where they connect to the battery, but also the major grounds ( http://www.aaroncake.net/rx-7/grounding.htm ).

 

Hmmm... Jack the car up, hit the starter with a hammer..

 

good trick, rx7 starters suck ive replaced about three starters on three diff rx7s all fcs

 

maby you grounded something out.. when installing the doors. ? and try hitting the starter with hammer.

 

i've had probs w/ the conection to the starter cylinoide (i suck at spelling) i ended up having to cut and splice in to a new connector to the cylinoide.

 

I dont know about the FC (will find out tomorrow at work) but most modern starters are permanent magnets. Hitting them with hammers will more then likely break the magnets. Now, it can work and get you past the dead spot in the starter, but you will deff need to replace the starter ASAP. IF thats your issue.

 

as it turn out...b/c i hammer the car when trying the installation...it kills the starter...so i have to replace it....i took the starter to autozone....they say i have a bad starter...so looking at about 100 for a new starter....hahahahhah my dumb ****

 

They don't suck, they're just 20 years old...

 

where are you buying your starter from? im assuming reman, but im paying 200+ 50 core on mine at autosource... canadajunk is close to the same.... almost half a grand in starters so far, kinda ticks me off... let me know where ur gettin em.

got mine at cragan...100+ 30 core.....even thought i replace them....my engine still not starting...wat the hell is wrong now..could it be the starter relay damage...? help

 

dam it...can anybody help me..i live in sac...could it be my CPU is mess up...?

 

this happened to me once.. in my case ....It was a little connection on the starter, that came off while i was driving somehow.

 

I thought the problem was solved?

What is the EXACT problem you are having? Be very descriptive.

 

when i turn the ignition key....the engine doesnt crank or anything like dat....i replace the start motor and the solenoid...still have the same problem.....the batteries is fine.....i dont know wat is wrong...the starter is new and all...wat is the problem..?

 

OK. Try jumping the solenoid to +12V to verify the starter works and is receiving power.

If the starter works, then put a voltmeter on the solenoid wire in the engine bay and then try to crank the car. You should see 12V for as long as the key is in the START position.

If you don't see 12V, then the issue is with the ignition switch or the clutch switch.

 

i did wat aaron say...the starter work....so i guess the problem is the clutch switch...since the ignition switch work..

how do u test the clutch switch?

 

newer mind the last post.....

i do see a 12 v readiing when the key is in the start position.... so wat does that mean?

 

the clutch switch?

the clutch switch is like a brake light switch.... as far as i know anyways.

 

ok....i got the car to crank when turn ignition key...but the car just wouldnt start....i did many jump start and still nothing.....so wat do you guys think is wrong now....i just cannot figures it out...

 

Crank no start. Air or fuel or spark. OR the big ugg, no compression. Time to get a Factory Service Manual and start troubleshooting bro.
