- Mon Sep 17, 2012 1:08 am #315829 Hello everyone. So today i replaced my passenger inner and outer tie rods and that went fine. After i was done i went to go to pick up a friend and turned off my car. When we went to leave my car would not start. So we pushed it and got it running and i got it home. After i got it home i checked the battery contacts, then all of the fuses, and then jumped the clutch switch and determined that the switch was fine. I was wondering if you had any other ideas as it was raining and getting dark and did not want to continue troubleshooting till the mourning. Thanks.

P.S. I have a 94 hatch with a b18b1 motor and tranny swap

- Mon Sep 17, 2012 1:51 am #315841 I would start by pulling the starter off and having it tested, have a friend that has an LS swap and his does the same thing turn the key nothing turn it again and it will kick over, tends to be the solenoid on the starter itself.

What happened was the starter signal wire terminal on the starter solenoid broke off and came out of the housing. I put it back in and now it works. However i know that i will have to take apart the solenoid and fix it the right way or pick a a differnt one. Thanks everyone for your help.
