I purchased a 90 gtu/gxl turbo ii swap project. I've got a lot figured out from when I first got the car but when I try to see if it cranks it's a no go. I don't know what areas I need to look at any help thanks, josh.
I can post pics later if I need to

 

Voltage from the ignition switch runs to the starter cut relay then onto the interlock switch (found on the clutch pedal) and then to the starter solenoid. You need to check for voltage at the interlock switch w/key to start at the switch's Black/Green wire. If the B/G wire has voltage w/key to start then check the other wire to the switch which is Black/Red except the clutch has to be depressed for the voltage to pass through the switch when the key is put to start.

 

Have you downloaded the service manual from foxed.ca?
Satch- bless his heart- will stay here and feed you info indefinitely but it's all right from the wiring diagrams, which you can get for free and study at your leisure.
There is nothing exotic about the starter circuit, it's pretty much identical to any 90's Japanese car.

 

I honestly didn't even check that my 1st gen doesn't need clutch down to start didn't even think that on the fc's thank you!

 

No I have not clok I will download for sure I'm bet it's pretty straight for just want to make sure it's right so I can start checking stuff off

 

If you turn the key to the on position do the wipers or turn signals work. This will tell you if thge ignition switch is powered or not and if it is not then the car will not turn over. If it is powered then move onto the interlock switch on the clutch.

 

Turn signals work dash lights come on pump doesn't kick on

 

Fuel pump that is

 

Pump turns on w/key to start and not key to on unless the fuel check connector was jumpered. But you say the engine would not crank, which means the engine does not rotate, which is different then rotating but not starting, so you need to clarify your problem so it could be addressed properly.

 

I apologize if I sound confusing my fuel pump does not turn on when I turn the key to the on position before it is turned to start. Where is the relay or fuse located for the fuel pump.

 

But it doesn't turn on w/key to on as already stated. You have to jumper the fuel check connector to get the fuel pump to turn on w/key to on otherwise you have to turn the key to start.

 

Oh I gotcha have you done a turbo ii swap before

 

Nope but just state your problem.

 

Alright I will start over
Just tried to get it to crank over. I do not want to attempt to fire it up I am not there yet. I put the key in and pushed the clutch in and the starter engaged slightly and I lost all power. I did not hear the fuel pump kick in either. Dash lights were working and headlights were working now nothing.

 

Scrap that I checked fuses and did nothing sat in the car made that last post tried it again for the hell of it and now she turns over and everything lights up and is dandy. I'm guessing now my only problem is why the fuel pump won't kick in.

 

The fuel pump is powered by the circuit opening relay. It's located underneath the dash just to the right of the steering column. It is black and Yellow and has 5 wires, three on top and two on the bottom. W/key to start the top right wire, which is Blue, powers the pump thus it should have voltage. When using a multimeter you can use the bottom left wire that is solid Black as a ground source.

Again with feeling, if you jumper the fuel check connector then the pump will turn on w/the key to on thus you could check it that way also. If need be remove the outflow fuel line and place it in a jug and do the above to prove one way or the other if it works.

 

Perfect thank you Satch !

 

Sounds like dirty or corroded battery cables to me. You should probably check that.

Nvm, i read the last post.

 

Satch is this the correct clip

 

I believe that's it because I checked the blue wire and ground on the clip for a volt reading and got nothing .001

 

The center wire on the top row should be Black/White and it should have voltage w/key to on. If it does not then check the engine fuse in the interior fuse box.

And did you check the blue wire for voltage w/key to start and the clutch depressed?

 

I did not check blue wire with clutch depressed but I messed around and did check the black white wire and ground and was getting roughly 12v

 

The clutch needs to be depressed because you are simulating the car being started.

 

Alright around 3 I will be getting back on the car and I will start over and get back to you

 

I get nothing from the blue wire when the clutch is pressed with key to on , black white wire I get 12v is there a way to connect a wire to the pump or somewhere that would let the pump turn on when the key is turned to on
