check your starter

i had the same problem. Check the connection on the starter,check plugs on tranny harness, or ignition problem. Pretty much anything else it will still crank but just wont turn over

check the starter relay (next to the battery) or the clutch pedal switch. start by checking to see if the small wire on the starter is getting power when you turn the key and work backwards from there. also, the big wire should have power all the time.

aright i looked at the starter theres 2 plugs going into it, one behind a nut and the other one plugs into it, now the starter relay might be the problem, can you tell me wat the plug looks like cuz im not really sure, jeff from heavy throttle said the same thing, but i dont no wat it looks like so jus let me know thanks .

It could be ANYTHING.

You could have borked the wiring.

Your ignitor might be toast.

Your starter might be bad.

You may not have win the wires to the starter or grounded them properly.

Small animals may have laid a curse upon you for not posting this in "tech"...

Anyway, thats my guess. It's any or all of the above.

Check wiring / test ignitor if you can / test starter if you can.

When you turn the key, the starter relay should make a loud clicking sound if its not cranking. That's one way to know its all good.

Good luck

Be sure that your engine is GROUNDED. My car was not cranking at first.... i installed a big ass battery cable from the intake manifold to the engine bay and its started right away
