any updates on this thing man?

[Damkid]

Unfortunatly no, I've been slacking on my projects this winter lol all I need to do is connect a couple wires, pour a bit of gas in the intake and see if it fires a bit and I just haven't got around to it lol ah soon enough I'll try and get some more progress done lol

I spent some time on th GTX to try and see if it would crank over, and nothing, so i'm thinking its a grounding issue but i'll have to wait to diagnose that one

This thing is more ignorant to work on then my festiva lol

[BFMRGTX]

Yep! PITA.

Check your neutral safety switch. Ignition and knock circuits. Might need to tweak the disty while cranking. Also check the ignitor module or swap distys.

Does it want to fire? Or just spin the starter?

[Damkid]

Starter doesnt even spin, when I turn the key to try and crank it over, absolutely nothing happens so I gotta make sure there's even power going to the starter lol

slacker!

[Damkid]

Ya ya lol I needed to show the festiva some love, then the jeep got jealous so I had to get under it and show some love to it (oil pan) lol so next it's the gtx's turn for some more love lol

Neutral safety switch. Starter wire. Ignition switch. Fuses?
You're getting power to the rest of the car, yes?

[Damkid]

Rest of the car has power, dash lights work, headlights/brake lights, turn signals all work.... I seriously am thinking just a simple grounding issue, later this week I'll get some time on it to try and diagnose what's going on lol

Interesting project

nice project

There is a switch on top of your transmission.. it should have a plug in that has a black wire looped.... There is also a green wire that is plugged into the plug.. That black wire is part of your starter feed circuit... Its an easy place to check and see if you are getting power threw towards the starter... Its also a commen place for the wiring to break down and corrode..
