Well, I really must get my daily driver to work, because my second car just failed, and i'm really screwed. I have an s13 hatch with an sr, and it wont start even if I jump it, battery reads 12.5v, I get the same at the starter, which I replaced already. Tried giving the starter 12v directly but all I get is a click, but it cant turn the engine. I turned the engine with a breaker bar a few times and tried to crank it with the key, and it only moved for about 2seconds, then I haven't been able to crank it over since. All I get is the click from the starter. I haven't changed the battery yet, but I can't see that being the problem, maybe, because I have unbolted the starter from the tranny and it spins fine. Is there a relay or something I haven't checked? I've read it might be something with the ecu not getting power or having a ground, but idk since it still acts like the starter can't push it. I'd REALLY appreciate some help.
