b18c7 conversion into civic
Driving it back from mechanics after spending 2.1k on it, has new distrib, new O2 sensor.
Pulling into driveway and accidentally stall car, it proceeds to not turn over what so ever, car doesn't make a noise at all when i turn key.
Please for the love of god help me before I cry.
Lights come up on dash as bright as normal so I don't think it's the battery.
Tried to clutch start it but it didn't work.
If my car ends up back in the mechanic I will be calling the suicide hotline tonight.
What work was done? i.e new seals/water pumpQuote:

i found my old starter motor wouldn't ground to the motor properly so i had to make my own grounding strap to the chassis to get it to spin up reliably
How would one find the grounding points on a b18c7 ekQuote:

How heavy is your car? Get a few boys around and lift it over, should turn over then
Thanks, mates coming over to have a look at it, hopefully its driving soon.Quote:

The grounding terminal was on a painted surface because someone (baxteria) doesn't understand basic mechanics.Quote:
