Hey guys,
CAR WONT CRANK!!!
Just bought an old EJ8 for cheap, its had a motor swap to a D15B and hasn't been started in 6 or so months. When I was at the sellers house, we were able to crank it but it didn't kick over and they told me a mechanic came to check the car and said it was the ignition coil. Before I went to get that I thought it may have been a battery issue as well so I replaced the battery and now it doesn't even crank anymore.
So then I thought maybe NOW its the immoboliser/alarm, we tried disengaging it etc etc, nothing worked so we took it out completely and fixed up all the wiring (not 100% sure but it seems like it was only tapped and not cut anywhere, so it was straight forward). Still nothing.
So my mate towed me while I tried push starting it, not sure if this is even possible but most of the lights turned off and I was able to rev the car but as soon as he stopped moving the car died again.
Any ideas what it could be? I'm thinking of getting a new dizzy and starter motor but I want to check first to make sure. Does anyone have the same engine as me that could help troubleshoot with their working parts? Part number for the dizzy is TD-8OU
Thanks a lot guys
