Hey guys, my problem is as my title states, I finished up my head install today finally around 9:30, got in the car, bumped it over, sounded good so I tried to start her up. The thing is I, hear the solenoids click on, get a good 1 or 2 cranks from the starter then nothing or else real slow turning, I figured it was my battery so I charged her up and it didn't work still. SO I tried replacing the battery with the one from my honda, still a no go. My lights and wipers are both working fine and bright when the key is on run. The warning chime is loud and all the lights on my gauges work bright. My dome light goes out when I try to crank though.
So after the battery didnt work I went down the list...
-Checked all connections at the battery, made sure nothing was corroded and clamps were fully seated and tightened.
-Checked starter bolts and connections.
-Checked for fuel pump turning on, and made sure the shut off switch was set.
-Made sure engine wasnt siezed, rotated it manually.
-Put new gas in, a loong shot but you never know.
So after doing the basic checks does anyone have any idea what my problem may be. My gut says the starter is the problem, but im not sure if it's that or if my battery is just too weak...
Thanks for any help you can give me...
