Problem Turning Over

Reaper6193 · 12-09-2011, 02:54 AM

I just finished fixing my head gasket on my car and reinstalling everything......now the car won't start or turn over.....all it does is make a click noise.....I think that i'm missing a ground wire some were and that the reason it won't turn over.....any suggestions on were this pesky wire might be located at?

If it's not turning over at all, start with pulling the EFI fuse and verify that you can rotate the crank (to make sure something in the powertrain isn't locked up.

Then check the primary ground from the engine to the battery and the power line from the battery to the starter (there are two wires which run to it: primary and solenoid, the solenoid obviously has power).

agreed make sure your starter is fully connected and is properly grounded.

Now I got the engine to crank....but no my head is leaking from the exhaust side.....If i didn't torque the head bolts down to the right specs will that cause it to leak or is it time to replace my heads?
