Getting power but won't turnover, no clicking, no nothing. I'm getting power and lights and tried my battery pack but still nothing. _________________ Johnparmenter82 |

Did you give the solenoid on starter a tap with a hammer? Sometimes sitting that long, if not replaced, they can just get a little stuck.
Does the engine turn by hand?
Once she turns on her own with the starter, if still no start, then start the air, fuel, spark trouble shooting that we all love.
Good luck.

Make sure you have installed the engine ground wire from the coil area to the block properly. _________________ White 87 924S "Ghost"

Are the 16 and 50 wires connecting to the starter solenoid reversed? If so get nothing. _________________ Mike

I helped with the rebuild, some things still not attached, I didn’t think that ground from coil bracket to block would be an issue? _________________ 1979 924

Absolutely will cause the issue. On NA cars I've seen the clutch cable melt and snap when trying to start the motor with this ground disconnected. _________________ White 87 924S "Ghost"
