h23a1 won't budge

[CB7freak92]

i'm talking no click, anything. just replaced the starter, already checked the battery. all the lights come on, all the grounds are good. all the plugs are right. main relay is good. fuel pump turns on. everything. doesn't make any sense. someone please help me.

Open your ECU and look for damage.

tried that. everything LOOKS fine. my guess is that i'm getting no power to the distributor? but how would i fix that. and i just realized that my oil pressure switch connection came undone, but that wouldn't keep it from cranking, would it?

I cant say with 100% certainty, but I'd say no. Are you getting power to anything at all, or just no juice to start. And did you hook up the ECU ground on the T housing?

[CB7freak92]

the only thing i seem to be getting power to is my fuel pump. and yes, i read another thread on here about the h23a1, and i checked that ground like 4 times.

Sounds like got some issue in the ignition on the steering column.

it worked before i took the f22 out. which is why nothing makes sense to me. i even replaced the starter today. also swapped to 5spd. idk if that makes a whole lot of differencein the ignition.

small wire at the starter should be getting battery voltage while you are trying to crank.

trace back from there.

You said you went with a 5 speed swap, did you do the wiring at the shifter to trick the ecu into thinking the car is in park?

I'll try this. Dumb question, how could I check the voltage? You think maybe my wire harness is maybe grounding out somewhere?

Yes. Actually I followed ChampCoupe's DIY thread for the whole 5spd swap. Lol. Even the park light in the dash comes on.

Did you bypass the clutch switch?

[CB7freak92]

Did you bypass the clutch switch?

Not that I know of. I figured I didn't actually have one. Lol. And if it's the safety switch, when the clutch is in, it should still crank, right? Unless maybe it's not fully engaging... there's no plug or sensore thing on the actual pedal bracket though.

are all the grounds attached to where they need to be? I remember my H22 wouldn't have any power, not even the door lights without adding a few more grounds everywhere
