    starter getting no power, bad starter?

    Ok....so i'm doing the m50 swap, final stages. I turn the key to crank starter seems to want to turn but doesn't, i pull it off thinking it was stopping the engine from cranking. I get under the car to crank it by hand, wow still stuck wtf i force it to turn and metal shaving's fall on me. Found the problem the crank pulley bolts were too long( cause i took off the ac pulley) and dug into the block, fixed.

    I put everythign back together, now my starter doesnt' do anything and my relays click. could it be a bad starter, but it was working, or was trying to work yesterday? i checked everything, the starter wires are in the correct spots and i plugged everything back where theyr'e suppose to go

    Check the engine ground. And try to jump across it with a screwdriver.

        Because it's hooked up and looks ok doesn't mean it is. I'd try and jump across the posts on the starter and see if it'll turn. If not then it's dead.

          well the thing is it was getting power yesterday and actually trying to do something, now it just dropped dead. What do you mean by jumping posts?

            Jumpering between the posts on the starter to see if it will spin.

            If you need another one I have one to sell for cheap.
