I just finished hooking everything back up after a rebuild on my 90 TII, now streetported, walbro pump, emissions removed, warmup selonoid/box removed, rats nest gone, but i kept the oil metering pump. Filled the oil and put some coolant in it. Tried to start it yesterday, and the starter wouldnt turn the motor over. Tried a couple times and my warning buzzer went off. I used a jumper pack for the battery to make sure i had enough juice. I DO HAVE SPARK. Went underneath the car and the starter was hot, so i had it checked at Advance. it failed so i bought a new one. Put the new stater in today and it does the same damn thing as it did yesterday...



Is there any part of the start-up procedure i'm missing?

Do i need to fool the ecu or anything?

Any connectors for emissions that should be left on or grounded?

..i havent hooked up the ABS yet



Ideas?

can you turn the engine over by hand?
