Alright guys, I'm about to push it off a dock so I don't have to deal with it any more, here's my problem:
92 s13 coupe with a s13 blacktop sr20det
had it for over a year
first non-starting issue i had was when i first got it but that was just the ignition switch
as of recently my starter acted like it was done for so i took it out and had it rebuilt, in the meantime i borrowed my buddies starter from his s14 sr-powered as well. that was always kinda finicky at times but for the mostpart i got it to work.
about 2-3 weeks ago his starter wouldnt work at all and i got my starter back from being fully rebuilt and i dropped it in...annnnddd nothing.
I've done everything; tried his starter, my starter, swapped out solenoids on both and tried them again, cleaned up battery connections, redone multiple wires and junctions that were toast when discovered, run different grounds, got a new starter/ignition inhibitor relay(i forget which one its called) and still nothing.
As of today i got it to turn over and fire up immediately twice.
the first time the battery was sitting outside the car and we just hooked up the new ground right to the starter mounting bolt and the car started right up. turned it off, tried again, nope...then later after more troubleshooting and lots of frustration, my dad just grabbed the negative wire to the battery and wiggled it around then i turned the key and it started right up again.
but theres no corrosion anymore, ive cleaned everything up, getting 12v everywhere. starter will spin when hooked up to the battery with cables...just wont engage then spin
HELP ME!!! :chair: :chair: :chair:
