Hi all, first off... im horible at spelling. get over it. now i guess ill get straight to the point... i have a 1993 FD3S with a ls1 swap, well im having issues with it not wanting to start. ever since i got it, it always did the whole "click click click start" thing, well now it doesnt even do that... go to turn the key and nothing... well me and a buddy checked out the igntion switch (the electrical part) the contact points were worn down pretty bad, we fooled around with it a little but never managed to get them just right. so i ordered a new switch a few days ago, but in the mean time, ive been jumping the bat. pos. to the engine start wire (i think), and then the ignition to the igniton two wire so i could use my windshield wipers, climate controll, windows... ya know just the stuff that the security ignition cutoff? i gues... well that worked fine for about 3 days... went to start the car, and when i went to jump the bat. pos to the engine start button, it started arcing... so basically all i could do was push start the car. well just got the new igniton switch today and put it in today. go to turn the key, nothing. i havnt checked all the fuses, just the ones that have something to do with the engine, security, stuff....im still thinking its something to do with the security cutoff because i dont have any windows, climate controll, or windshield wipers... if i jump them, all of that works just fine. i have no clue what to chase after now... bad ground maybe? what would i look for there? where would i start chasing? any help would be greatly apreciated. anyone ever have this problem? i dont think the swap is the issue. its a clean swap, wiring is nicely done. ive read about people having close to the same issues on here, and have tried every solution that has been posted. oh, the clutch cutoff is bypassed too. like i said. ive read just about every thread that has a similar issue, and tried several solutions, and still... notghing.

I think your spelling is nice. Have you checked all your grounds? Check every single fuse as well. Wish I could offer more help.

i replaced the ignition switch, nothing. find a blown fuse (b2) fuse, replace, turn key, vroom. who woulda thought a hvac fuse would keep it from starting.

Yeah, its the random fuses that you dont check that will hurt you in the long run, i had a blown sunroof fuse ( I dont have a sunroof) and my whole dash/ac would not get power, I had checked the fuses 10 times but never that one because I dont have a sunroof. But alas it was that one.
