ok here is the problem. I bought a 92 hatch back shell about 2 weeks ago and i finally got around to putting my motor in it (d16z6). everything went in smooth but when I hooked up the battery all the gauges came on and the fuel pump turned on. But i didn't have a key in the ignition. I thought maybe the ignition was messed up so I changed that but its still the same way. The reason i bought the car was because it looked like none of the wiring had ever been touched. BUt besides the ignition im not sure what to check. Has any one else ran into this problem.

 

does the car have an alarm in it?

 

no

 

check for any direct connections to the battery, or anywhere around there, that don't look right, cuz it has to be something simple, have u tried starting the motor?

 

yeah im sure that it is something simple just gotta figure it out. No i haven't started it yet but im giong to tomorrow.

 

ok i've got the car started but when i take out the key it continues to run.

 

Thats gotta suck... lol

wireing problems are a bitch! and end up being something easy to overlook...
