my 22re wont turn over
i just recently dropped a used motor into my 93 pickup after the original started knocking. i got it in and evreything hooked up. got in and turned the key and nothing happend. i had the started tested and it was good. also we checked and the mtotor is grounded good. all the dash lights come on and evreything but the engine just wont turn over. i have been working on it for a solid week and i have went over evrey wire and the only problem i have found is that the black and white wire going to the solenoid is not getting any voltage on it even when i turn the key to start. i checked all the fuses and they were all good, clutch start neutral switch good and still nothing. i am about to lose my mind because this crap is killin me. anybody got any ideas to what it could be or that would help?

ignition switch perhaps? find the wires that go to the starter from the switch and test them when you turn the key. you got to keep working backwards from there until you find voltage... then once you have found voltage the next part in the chain is probably your problem.... ie if you work all the way back to the ignition swith and have voltage before but not after then thats your problem. you have to go everystep of the way or it wont work. its a PITA but its the only way.
and look in the FSM linked in the sticky thread for TS steps. will tell you basically the same thing.

well i checked it and the igniton is sending voltage. im thinking it may be that all of the plugs are corouded so i am gonna go over all of them and clean them and then go from there.

If the coolant temp sensor is broken it should still crank, but may not start since the ecu doesn't know that the engine is cold. At least that was my experience when my sensor came unplugged and it was around 0 outside.

wont keep it from turning over. could keep it from starting but the motor would still turn over. that tells cold start injector to do its job and when not to, so it could cause some trouble there but it would still turn over.

So is the engine cranking, or nothing happens when you turn the key? Because if nothing happens then cleaning the plugs isn't going to help. If it's turning but not firing, check for spark. Make sure ignitor, ignition coil, distributer, plugs etc. are good & getting spark. If you're getting spark make sure you're getting fuel.
If you turn the key and all the auxillary things come on but nothing happens with the motor, then yeah, somehow the starter isn't being told to engage.

ok well ill replace it but yes it still wont turn over, the crazy thing is 2 weeks ago when we pulled the motor out the ignition was working just fine so im really not thinking that its bad but im going to check all conections and go from there, is there any other switches that you guys know of that would keep it from cranking?

thats what is happening and what i meant is that i am going to check all of the connections for dirt/grease or corosion. but is there any of them besides the one that goes to the solenoid that would cause it to not crank?

like i said in my previous post man you need to just start working backwards looking for power at every possible junction of wires meeting. with the key engaged to the start possition(assistant will be helpfull its pretty much a 2 person job). you can change parts and switches all day but if you miss the one thats broke your just wasting money. take the time to do it the right way and save yourself some money. Trust me i know its frustrating but its really the best way.
ive done it myself. jump to conclusions or *easy fixes* and end up just pissing money away. then when i do fix it im too damn broke to afford it

This is now the third thread you have started about your truck not starting.
i think YT members have given you about the advice we can. its time for you to A. take it to a shop, or B. GO OUT AND WORK ON IT.
Often times its the simple things that you miss, and you will be kicking yourself for not seeing it right in front of your eyes.
