So i just finished installing a new engine (see here for more info: http://www.feoa.net/modules.php?name=Fo ... ic&t=60850 )
Not surprisingly, everything didnt just work on the first try ;-)
I got the battery hooked up (this is a known good truck battery for testing, until I buy new one). Double and triple checked that all plugs, hoses, etc were hooked up.
Heres the problem - I turn the key, and i get nothing. No crank, no click, nothing. The battery/voltage light on the dash is constantly on. The check engine light is on.
Obviously, I am going to hook up a code reader to check the codes, I just didnt have one with me tonight. Theoretically should have been blank without the battery hooked up for months.
So, what I am looking for is ideas. Things to check. Things to verify. I would like to be able to hit the ground running tomorrow evening when i get back to working on it.
So far, i know the battery is good, and i know the starter is good (starter was bench tested before reinstalling in vehicle.)
So, I need ideas for things to check, and things to try to get this baby started. Or even just to crank. at this point, at least a starter spin would be a welcome event.
Thanks in advance
