I just got thru with converting my automatic SC300 into a manual- along with installing a T67 turbo, 2.5mm headgasket, etc. I try to turn on the car.. but it doesnt start. The starter doesnt even click.

I'm sure I connected all the wiring harnesses back to where they're supposed to be, but still- no click from the starter.

any suggestions? I didnt wire anything to the pedal assembly- a few guys on the forum said that their auto to manual swaps didnt include any wiring to the pedal assembly. Any thoughts on this? Let me know what you guys think.

ANY comments or suggestions would be great. I'm gona re-check all the wiring for now, and hopefully I find something disconnected.

Is there some type of neutral bypass switch? Something dealing with the clutch pedal while starting the car? anything else that needs to be done prior to starting the car with a manual tranny? I'm also using a Manual tranny ECU too.

This might be a lil vague but, I remember reading posts of people talking about how when switching an auto to manual you have to do some type of bypass so the car knows its in neutral and the clutch is depressed.
Again im sorry I cant explain it more clearly but I think it has something to do with the auto ecu you have on ur car. It needs to be told that its in park or neutral to be able to start and you have to rig something up so that the ecu thinks its in one of those two positions so it allows the car to start….


Notice that on any typical automatic car if you turn off the car in any gear besides N or P the car wont even make the “click” and it will make no attempt at turning over.

Hey, thx for the reply. I actually have a manual tranny ECU in my car right now. Do you know what exactly I need to bypass to allow my car to start?

Redbarron- what do you mean by put in the clutch. Yea, the clutch, pressure plate, and flywheel are installed.

Any other suggestions?

from what I remember, it was one of the Florida guys who has a red 1jz sc.... I think his name was “got trd” or something.... he hasn’t been on for a while tho
but the person who bypassed it found a wire which ran from the manual ecu to what should have been a relay in the manual cars that told the ecu the clutch was depressed and the car was not in gear... if you look up the wire schematics you should be able to locate that wire.... Ill keep on searching for you and see what I can find.

I did a auto to manual swap on my Acura Integra back in the day and i remember the starters were not the same for auto and manual so you might want to check to see if the starters are the same part for a manual and auto car.

According to my Toyota RI... try jumpering pins 2&3 on the neutral safety switch connector. If not you won't get power to the starter relay. ECU pin # 76 supplies the power going to the switch. Not sure how others have done their swap, but these should be the same wires to wire up the clutch switch.

DHBomber

Oh, this info was for a 92, so newer models may use different wiring/connector at the PN switch. Regardless, the ECU pin 76 looks to be the same (B,W wire). I would pull the starter relay to see if you are getting power there when cranking...

ok, the car is cranking now, but it won't start. There's spark, and there's fuel- but no combustion Everything seems to be connected.. any suggestions?

I did the swap in my car. We basically jumped the starter into the ignition relay. I couldnt not find the proper neutral safety switch / clutch start switch since I used a 6 speed harness and kept my auto body harness. Starts like an auto would start.

But my climate control isnt currently working and it looks like it uses power from the ignition, so its probably connected somehow.

As for your starting issue, I cant help you there, my car started, then died, but it was because of an issue with the ignitor.

Not to be an *** or anything but this was asked earlier and you never gave an answer. Do you have the clutch in Neutral and have the clucth pressed down to the floor when trying to start the car?

fawk got me all dirty alright ill expect $20.00 to my paypal no later than friday lol jp. alright since ur in pain and u asked nicely twice..... here is your answer open up here comes the spoon.









if you can't tell im jumping the 2 green sections in the middle with a paper clip if it works cut those wires off the harness and use a crimp connector and do it right nothing more embarassing than driving a pimp *** car and it dont start infront of a crowd lol......
