Coyote experts needed
Q:
I have completed the install and wiring etc. all fluids except rad fluid as I want to turn the engine over a few times before starting to check oil pressure.
Wiring is sufficient - only a few gauges remain.
Car in neutral - and when I turn the key to start position, I hear the fuel pump and I hear the solenoid engaging the starter but the engine does not turn over.
I have removed the spark plugs to eliminate compression and with the car in 1st gear, the car does not want to move when pushed, which I thought that by pushing the car in gear should turn the engine over?
I will check the starter and remove to see of pushing the car can turn the engine over.
If this does not work I may have to pull the engine and trains and remove the trans/bell housing and clutch to check for binding. When installed - all seemed to go together as anticipated with no glitches.
Are there any ideas that may help before I pull the motor.
Is there a requirement for water / coolant to be installed before the motor will turn over - I would not think so?
Thx
