Okay I swapped a 2002 z28 drive train into my 95 v6. I got a wrecked 02 z28 and just changed over all the wiring, brakes, drive train.....everything. I go to start it and........NOTHING

All that happened is the lights on the gauges shut off, all except the ses light. I took off my AIR though and that causes it to come on?

can anyone point me in the right direction? I know its something stupid and right in front of me

oh and the car ran fine before I swapped everything over

thanks

 

Does the motor crank over?

 

Wow.. where to start.. ?.. well it is a different car now. .wiring and all.

Can you get any codes from the ODBII port ( or the CEL)

Can you explain "Nothing".. any clicking, fuel pump prime, cranking of the engine at all? did you check voltage to any of the coil, getting an pulse to the Fuel Injectors ?..

I would recommend double checking all of your wiring as compared to a FSM. Have you checked all of your fuse's. Power going to the correct termial and pin's.. 12v+ or 5v.

 

VATS, make sure all your grounds and VATS connections are hooked up or make sure VATS is bypassed - My retrofit did this to me as well. Turns out i cut a VATS ground wire.

 

okay I got it thanks guys

I guess I never plugged in the neutral safety switch lol

 

DUDE !.... Stuff happens LOL.. well now you got to report on the project now !

 

yeah for sure its been a long month of getting this bitch to where its at now. This was my first motor swap, and pretty much my first time working on a car besides oil changes and little stuff like that. I know I wouldn't have been able to do it without this site though no way in hell. SEARCH IS KING!

but ill get some pics of her later on tonight

thanks again guys

 

but does she run???

 

HAHAHA. same thing happened to me the first day I went to turn my starter over. I checked with a voltmeter and didnt see voltage, then I realized that the car was sitting in drive since we had been missing with the shifter cable, and that the car was doing exactly what it was told to

glad to hear it worked out!
