Bought an s13 hatch with a dual cam ka24de.. long story short told it needed two things, not the case.
Car has a new alternator and new starter, although the starter is currently not in the car.
Basically it just won't spin the flywheel over. the starter solenoid clicks and the starter is confirmed working.
Took the starter out and tried push starting the car, its has only started 2 times out of the 9 we have tried to start it.
The times it has started when you try and drive it it has basically no power whats so ever, in addition it sounds like something is rattling around in the bellhousing quite loudly, but seems to go away when you disengage the clutch.
When you try and turn the motor by hand with the car in the air, both in gear and out of gear the wheels and flywheel seem to spin fine. Observed by looking at the flywheel through where the starter mounts.
in addition none of the dash lights or any interior lights work but I feel like this is an unrelated issue. When you try to push start the car, reverse second gear and sometimes third the wheels generally just lock up and the car slides about 10 feet to a stop, the 2 times it has started the car was sliding to a stop and it happen to start to fire up so I just jumped on the gas.
Any ideas anyone? I am going to drop the trans but I was wondering if anyone had any other ideas before I did.
