SR won't start - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

i've searched. a lot of the stuff is really irrelevant

anyway, i did a clutch job by pulling the motor. at the same time, i relocated the wiring harness in the passenger's side fender well into the engine bay by taking it apart from the inside. i also had james at g-dimension rebuild the main engine harness.

everything's bolted back together, but the thing won't start. i've double checked all the plugs; everything seems connected and grounded, etc. the fuel pump doesn't prime anymore. when i crank it, i hear a clicking from the fuse panel area in the driver's side kick panel. i had a friend knock the starter around with a broom, but same thing happened. i also made sure the clutch interlock (is that what it's called?) is connected.

anybody have any idea what could be wrong?

maby your starter is bad.

same thing happened to me...In my case the interlock relay by the right headlight wasnt working right. So i jumped the two wires together and it worked. Check is the power wire from the starter is properly connected too.

clutch pop it?? hold the clutch in, put it in 1st, push the car to gain good speed, let go of the clutch slowly then be turning the key to try and start the car

ok, i can get the car to crank now. the clutch interlock switch was fucked; i just jammed a paper clip into the harness. the car doesn't catch and run, though, and my fuel pressure gauge reads 0. the fuel pump doesn't prime either. i'm going to be doing more research.

thanks guys

Use a higher gear it's easier .etc 4th & 5th.

Check and see if your getting power at the pump.
