    Did everything but still cant get the f22 to crank!!!

    hey fellas!!

    Well as you can see, my car aint starting, well, i removed the engine 1 week ago to change my clutch and paint my engine bay and block. I also took it out to fix my half shaft and other stuff. Anyways, i put everything back together last night, and finished up today in the morning to crank it and bleed the clutch.

    It cranked at first, then i had a gas leak due to my fuel filter threading being stripped, so i just bought a new one, even tho the car didnt turn on. Well this is the funny thing, once i fixed that the oil and battery light was on, like normal, except the check engine light. At first when i cranked it all the lights came on...event the CEL

    Ok here it is, now that i want to rotate it, it wont, the CEL, battery, and oil dosent come on nomore, only the brake and SRS, but when i turn the key all the way those 3 lights come on, but very dim, like if it wanted to barely light up.

    but when i try to crank it, it wont crank, as if the battery was dead but its not, here is what i've done:

    Changed Main relay, ECU (to another PT3), the whole fuse box, checked grounds, changed battery, changed ignition switch,,,, im just lost fellas, i also triple checked all my fuses and harness, it all seems good, but dont know why it the light wont lit and the motor wont crank....any ideas fellas??

    thanks alot!!

                Since you painted you need to make sure every ground is on clean steel.
                Paint is an insulator, so any grounds bolted to the painted surface won't do a very good job.

                As has been said above - The 2 most obvious problems would be the thermostat ground and, the main battery ground.

                Check those two first, but check all the others as well for good contact to ground

                If at first you don't succeed, Try again. Don't give up too easily, persistance pays off in the end.
