i recently swapped a 95 gsr into my 93 DA. the motor ran in the previous car it was in. now the car wont start any ideas of why this might be ive gone through every angle i could have think of. checked starter wires to fuse box, ignition, did have a alarm removed it still nothing all plugs are plugged in on the motor. any ideas are more than helpful. if you are going to beat this thread up dont bother posting. thank you.

what ecu are you running?
when you turn the key to the on position can you hear the fuel pump surge?
have you checked to make sure you are getting spark?

lights on the dash but dont know about lights outside cuz put 1pc in and have to convert the plug. sensors and relays are good the motor started just b4 we pulled from other car and put in teg. i wonder if the starter has to be from a gsr.

well then take off your starter and bench test it by running 12 volts directly to it off of your battery. if that works than you know your starter is good and you need to start looking into a new ignition switch and/or why you are not getting power to the starter.

you can also take your starter to vatozone and have them test it for you if you trust that those guys know what they are doing.

edit: i just read your post again and saw that you tried most of what i suggested but you said you did not use the starter from the gsr??? then make sure that your starter works by bench testing it and if not than yes you should have used the gsr starter lol.
