help, doesn't start!

[clayman]

I did finally put the motor back in my car, everything is connected except some few sensors and the radiator fan isn't connected.

the car didn't start, all of the lights came on, and the annoying key in ignition sound.
Just wondering if anyone here knows what might be the problem.

Sorry for my bad english, I'm from Iceland.

Is it the PATS System? (alarm)

 

[clayman]

where is it connected?

Is the motor turning over..? Or is it not doing anything when you turn the key?

 

[clayman]

the motor isn't turning over.

Is it possible that it doesn't start because i don't have the radiator installed and the fan? also didn't install the air filter and the sensors.

You need to install all the sensors BUT, if it's not turning over at all, sounds like a bad starter or maybe a bad connection.

I had a similar problem recently.... Check battery cables for corrosion (I overlooked the corroded cable before it was pointed out to me by a guy i work with).....

you need spark, fire, fuel and air. your not getting one of those.

If the engine won't crank, you are not getting juice to the starter or the starter is no good. If the starter worked fine before you pulled the engine, than I am sure it is fine now. Check the wiring on and to the starter. That is where your problem is. Even without all the sensors hooked up and the radiator not installed the engine should still crank.

I'm not getting juice to the starter, figured that out. But can't find anything wrong though. I'm going to put the radiator on air filter and connect everything tomorrow, try to find out what's wrong.

Check all your fuses, then check to see if the starter is getting any voltage.

you make sure all ur grounds are tight? if the ground from the starter is unhooked you'll have no cranking.
your rad doesnt need to be hooked up at all. might throw a code but thats nothing. should turn over either way.
