No Start.

[Mike B.]

Did you bypass the 'start' relay?

id like to thank TJ Lathrop (digitalwave) for telling me how to bypass the starter relay (which blew my #10 fuse) AND checking all my fuses and telling me they were good.

the starter now spins but doesnt engage to the flywheel. i really hope that i dont need to take the plenum off to get to the starter. sounds like it could be backwards but i dont think i would do that! does anyone use spacers on the starter when mounting it?

hmm, i would have never thought of that, I didnt know your car was an auto. As for the starter, sounds like the pull in isnt working. Which flywheel/clutch combo are you using? Im using m50 starter, s50 flywheel and clutch and my starter makes a horrible noise when I turn the engine over (e30 transmission). I tried to use spacers on the starter and it did nothing.

Im going to be swapping for an m20 starter, flywheel and clutch.

And, it spins freely by hand right?

it does spin by hand. Im using the M20 starter, clutch and flywheel. im thinking that the flipout selonoid is bad. ill have to change to another starter.
