ehgine won't turn over
ehgine won't turn over
1992 gs automatic and I replaced the blown motor with a 1993 K8 motor. The installation went fairly well. Now everything electrical works, but the motor won't turn over. The starter bench tests ok. Bat has 11.4 volts without load and not much of a drop under load. Starter terminals drop to 9.8 volts under load, but are 11.4 volts before load. No codes are pulled in diagnostic mode. However, the cel stays on when not in diagnostic mode.
any help or suggestions?
Thanks,
Keith

May I recommend a process of elimination by using the online shop manual starting in Section G. In there, there is a trouble shooting guide that will take you through step by step and gives reference to other sections in the manual for specific tests/confirmations. This way you may save some time and prevent chasing your tail. FWIW, a well charged battery in good condition should give you well more than 11.4 volts with no load. That would be the first confirmation followed by the starter and so on...

update.
Lakersfan: I forgot a ground at the passanger side motor mount. Thank you.
Jschrauwen: Turned out to be a weak battery preventing it from turning over.
Now it turns over but doesn't start. Seems to be getting good spark. I don't think I here my fuel pump. Oh well i'll continue down through the trouble shooting.
