Yay! Today after learning how a started solenoid works (thanks to Christ), I got the car cranking. Both the fuel pump relay and the injection relay work. I'll fool around with it a bit more because I decided to quit while I was ahead. What happens now is when I crank it and release the key into position 2, it shuts right down. If I keep it cranking, it responds to opening the throttle. I didn't finish checking for damn sure that I took all the wires I needed from the CRX harness to the metro harness, so I'll make sure that's right then see what happens, but assuming the same thing happens once I'm done, what should I look at? Maybe the fuel pump since I'm using the CRX pump? It is most definitely delivering fuel or else it wouldn't respond to throttle, but what do I know about these things? After all, I just learned today that a starter solenoid not only turns the engine over, but actuates the starter gear onto the crown wheel; Then, once you release the starting position of the key, the little gear in the starter gets pulled back from contact with crown wheel gear. I'm worried that I'm going to hurt the engine since it's newly rebuilt. I don't know if it's bad to keep cranking it over if it's not going to want to idle for the 30 minute break-in. Any insight on this from the wise? Hopefully this will all get sorted out once I correct all of the wiring. I'm excited anyway that I got it cranking from the inside of the car at least.
Oh yeah, my battery died down to about 3.6v since the last time I worked on it because my climate control panel light stays on constantly regardless of key in or out. That'll drain the battery eventually.... gonna have to figure that out too.
