Well, my FD has not been driven for about 4 weeks. I was waiting on my new clutch to arrive and it finally has. In the meantime I did some BASIC sound audio, and a couple plugs are currently not connected in the door(should be irrelevant). Anyways I go to move my car to the garage and it will not start?! Charged the battery and still nothing, won't even turn. It worked good until the clutch went, and the engine still ran nice, but now won't even start up...help?

Alright, sounds like it is not getting gas, why. Sitting 3-4 weeks isn't horrid and worked fine before, but I guess sometimes things just go. Whats best way of checking?

If its not cranking at all I would check your starter and make sure you didnt knock loose any of the connections.

 

It Cranks just refuses to turn over

 

'Turning over' means it IS cranking. One says, "the engine is turning over" to indicated the starter is engaged and the crankshaft is turning (hence: cranking).
So don't say it cranks but refuses to turn over. Say, "it cranks but won't fire" or something like that, please.

 

um flooded

 

Okay, yes is cranks but won't fire, the starter is forsure going. Should I just treat it like it's flooded, not sure how this happened but it's the best I've got to go on so far.

The sound and door wires. . .did you do something to the security system perhaps?

 

There is a built in immobilizer? woah news to me, I knew of the alarm. Umm, I can reconnect all the plugs I suppose, but I never thought of that, why would the starter still go though?

Alright, thanks for all your help, sorry for improper terminology, car is fixed and runs. Took two times of de-flooding it, first one I let it die to quick, but held on to the second, runs like it used to. Thanks again guys
