We are finishing up my engine swap on my 89 240sx. I put a redtop sr20det in the car. We have it all wired up. When i go to start the car the ACC or clutch p n p relay in the drivers junction block click once but nothing at the starter.

The car had a Wiring Specialties pro series tucked harness for this swap.
Its brand new

I tried messing around the grounds.
We jumped the posts on the starter. It spins but the solenoid wont engage the flywheel.

I understand i may need to replace the starter solenoid.

I just want it to spin by the key!

Solved the problem i guess. Installed a push button

Having the same problem, i was considering doing a push button. But did you check your clutch interlock switch (located above the clutch pedal) AND your clutch interlock relays? (located in passenger side of engine bay by the battery/ washer bottle neck)

Yes. They were by passed in the car prior to the swap anyway so i cant see it affecting it now

Ever figure this out? My problem ended up being the relay was bad. My switch on the pedal was bypassed but not the relay so might want to double check that? Have you traced the wiring from the start position on the ignition tumbler until you weren't getting any voltage?
