basically i did an engine swap on my FD, the engine was working fine before it came from the other car.

now the engine is in, i tried to start her yesterday, all the lights came on the dash came on, all the wipers, headlights and taillights work, it just doesn\'t turn over ..

its almost like it has a dead immobilizer but the car doesn\'t have one.

ive looked online and used the search function, and the usual flooding problem keeps coming up, but this cant be the issue if the car doesn\'t turn?

i found a few times to try and bump start her (push car along and release the clutch in second gear etc) dont know if this will help? :S

can anyone point me towards what the possible problem could be?

Thanks :)

The small wire on the starter motor maybe off?
