so brenton1919 was/is replacing my motor, everything is hooked up but the car wont start.
when we turn the key, no crank no nothing but u can hear the relay he suspects is the computer since none of the dash lights come on when u turn the key to "ON" like they're suppose to (for example the check engine etc.) question is how to swithc the computer/alarm off. we're trying the switch near the pedals, but no luck any suggestions? -------------------- For Sale:OEM tail lights - make offer

yeah since it got dark i couldn't get a chance to over look everything but, my main thing i think it is, is a bad ground wire i dont its in a good spot. the ground wire from the ecu but thats where it was when i took the old engine out didn't have my test light on me so i didn't get a chance to check for a good ground. im going to try and make it over there tomorrow before to see if i can get it started. but no people its not the starter or anything else if anything its the efi relay and it looks to me like its been replaced before, and if its not the efi relay its that dang crappy alarm toyota made on these cars. that happen to my car longggggg time ago that dang alarm wouldn't cut off so it had the whole car shut down we ended up having to bypass it... but im going to let u kno now i dont have time this week to get it to where u can drive it but i'am gonna do my best to get it started this week so this weekend u can drive it. we just had so many little problems from the start with us starting late and stuff... haha but on a good note i still did my swap in less than one day with switching all the parts and having to take the tranny out because i didnt have my dang jack lol but if u count hours wise. i wish the engine u bought was to a celica and i didn't have to take off all that crap lol. but ill try to get over there in the am to see if i can get it started. so this weekend i can drop that back mount in and u will be on your mary way
