possible short....

[92LEGESI]

92 rs bc5,

Has had an engine out of a de-reg gt put in and wont start..

Have searched CS and have come up with a short somewhere in the loom and/or grounds not ground properly..

Have checked the negative leads ground from top of the headlight to mount off gearbox = good

Have checked ecu ground to manifold = good

Also various other grounds like the ones that ground near heads to body and so....

Is there.any other.grounds i should check ?

What also confuses me is the.coilpacks are one bolt ones ? Arent they from a tt block ? And also has a tdo4 but unsure.if you need ecu chipped for that ? Like td05...

If anyones free too look or help pm, reply or txt me 02102437252

If anyones free to help...

Doesn't matter where its ground to. just put a few more ground cables on from the battery negative to strut tower/manifold/engine etc.

p.s i doubt that is your problem.

How is it not starting - not turning over? turning over but not firing?

Check spark (plug out and turn over) & check fuel (pull fuel hose off & turn on)

narrow down your issue...

[92LEGESI]

Lights go on, all electrics work but Wont even crank ie just getting ticking from starter motor when i turn key,

[pl0x]

tried jump starting or another battery?

[92LEGESI]

Yep new battery and jump... But still ticking from starter,

[pl0x]

Sounds like a lack of power to the starter imo

Check the starters cables, connections & earth etc.

[92LEGESI]

Will check and report,

[92LEGESI]

Stil nothing as of yet, checked earths and connections everythings gud, turned key and nothing. Still clicking

Is the starter and starter solenoid good?

Was the donor auto or manual?

[Pappu1]

if car is manual, can u try roll start?

[92LEGESI]

Starter clicking away so should be good ? guy who did it told me all was working well before engine transplant...

BC5 is auto but unsure if donor was manual let alone tt,

Cant get hold of the guy, so im basically left with a zombie car with different bits,

Loom seems to be tampered with,

In over my head abit with this one, onli an apprentice mech. Which is why i need help, guidance...

[pl0x]

Could try hard wire straight from battery to the start motor

i.e set key to on and use jumper leads from +ve & -ve battery to starter terminals (connect -ve and touch +ve on etc.)

[92LEGESI]

Will try it and report

[pl0x]

careful...

[92LEGESI]

Got the same thing, clicking from the starter...

[pl0x]

maybe starter or solenoid is bung. otherwise pass...

[92LEGESI]

Taken starter out, tested it with battery, ground negative to the bracket side and touched positive onto the main connector. Got nothing....

Then touched the opposite side that connects to the smaller cylinder and it just spun, but never came out.

Is this the right way to check it ? Or do i have to use a screwdriver and short the two ?
