Default 93 3000gt TT won't start. Need Help Fast!!!

Turn the key and there is only a click from the center dash. Does not turn over. We bridge the starter and it turns but there isn't any spark. It does get fuel. This car doesn't have a cam angle sensor.

There has been a Greddy EBC and turbo timer install before. Engine ran before it blew and we just swapped in a rebuilt engine.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Could be the starter... you can take the starter out it will turn but its not engaging as much as it should. I had this simliar problem. Took the starter to Discount Auto had it tested and they said yeah its engaging but its not engaging enough to crank over the engine and I needed to buy a new starter so I did.

As far as spark, where are you testing this. Is there no spark to the cylinders? Are you sure everything is plugged in, check around for any loose plugs or anything loose.

Sounds like the starter relay is bad for one.
I would fix that first. Then I would check the coils and power transistor.

The starter engages and turns the engine. I'm gonna pop in a spare relay right now.

+1... that and spark plugs, spark plug wires.

Are the lights dimming when you try to start it?

We have it hooked up to a 200amp 12v jumping box. We are checking the transistor now. All of the plugs and plug wires are brand new.

but we tested the starter. do you think it might have anything to do with the turbo timer?
