Today I wrapped up the wiring for my 13B T swap, I tried to start the engine for the first time, and womp womp womp woooomp the engine did not turn over .

The first clue something was not right was the dash did not light up when I turned the key top the accessory position. The gauges work, but not the lights for the dash, or warning lights .

When I turn the ignition to the accessory position I hear a loud click from the engine bay. I checked the main fuse in the engine compartment and it's good.

I'll go over everything tomorrow to see why the engine will not turn over.

To be continued...

 

Gotta check fuel and spark before worrying about a dash light. Check your connections in the passenger footwell, check fuses in drivers footwell, check coil wiring, CAS, etc

 

Will do, making my check list.

 

After going over my check list today, I was able to start my engine for the first time!! I primed the fuel pump and reconnected the fuel pump resisitor and the engine fired right up. My first RE swap I'm no longer a swap virgin, feels like I know a little something now ha ha. Now I have to towed it to a muffler shop tomorrow to have a custom down pipe made.
