As the title says. I'm having starting issues with my fc. I just did an n/a to s5 turbo swap with a rhd conversion almost a year ago. Just recently started having starting issues. It just won't start without getting jumped and has to start connected to the jumper to stay on. First thought it was the battery or alternator so I had both checked. Both checked good. I sounded changed the alternator to an fd. The new one was also checked to make sure it was good before being installed. Then changed the starter. Still the same problem. Can someone help? Really want to get my fc on the road. Thanks ahead of time for the help.

 

Hmmm...well, you've been here a while but it doesn't look like you've wandered far from the West Regional board when I looked at your thread history, so I've moved this thread here for some expert advice.

Y'all take it easy on him and please, no "search noob" replies, that may be the reason he's never wandered. Play nice, live long.

I can offer no help unless it's a flooded situation and my technique has only been used on the "caveman" 1stgen's Nikki carburetor set up.

Check your battery ground. if you are jump starting it to start it and your battery and starter are known good you may have a bad ground or a break in the harness somewhere.
