car has no juice!

[Dr_Thompson]

im putting back together my 92 after a clutch job at the moment. I thought i had everything back together properly, get in the car and she has no power. The battery is getting power however nothing inside the car is working. There are 2 female connectors by the throttle body i havnt found a home for yet. One has a red and black wire with two holes thats attached to other connectors like the MAF sensor and the TPS i belive.The others gray with 3 holes located under the rear part of the intake manifold. Are these just extra componets or are they the reason my car has no power?Any ideas?

You have the starer installed? Check the battery cables on route to the starter.

yeah the starters installed. I origianly had the starter cables hooked up wrong. I belive there right now though, the batterys getting juice so i figure it has to be correct or am i mistaken.

The battery doesn't "get" juice, it makes it. Find the starter's solenoid, it's the first place that the positive cable from the battery goes to. Check to make sure you have voltage on the battery side of the solenoid all the time.

Then check to see if you have voltage on the starter side of the solenoid when you turn the ignition switch to start and depress the clutch.

If not, check the little wire on the solenoid to see if it gets 12 volts when you turn the switch to start AND push in on the clutch.

If not, check to see if you get 12 volts on the little wire at the clutch safety interlock switch when you turn the switch to start.

If not check that the ignition switch is getting 12 volts all the time from the power distribution block in the engine compartment. I think it ( the ignition switch) is fed by a 60 amp **** fuse.

Good luck.

unfortunately i dont have acces to a electrical tester at the moment so i cant check. Kinda makes things harder i know. I'll have to grab one from my dad tommorow.However i do have pics of those two female pieces i cant find a home for.

The second photo is of a connector that is unused.

I cannot identify the one in your first photo. Lighting is not very good and it's a bit fuzzy.
