As the title says, my car won't start. I replaced my starter, alternator, and recharge my battery and put it in. I was hoping that the new parts would start the car but no luck. I checked the safety switch under the clutch and it didn't change it. I pushed it in by hand and turned the key. No luck. When I do turn the key I get a loud click coming from the fuel pump relay. That's it. Any ideas, I'm stuck at a wall. Thanks

Break out a volt meter and see what your voltage is at the battery......Don't assume it's fully charged! Could be a bad battery. Once you verify that you have at least 12.5 volts pull the small lead off of the starter and put your volt meter on, have someone turn the key to start and see if you have voltage there! If both of the above check out ok it's time to consult a wiring diagram.
 

Also check the battery connections and grounding. Had that issue when I put in a motor into a 1g.

Was the engine out? I chased a starting problem for a few hours before I realized that the starter harness down above the trans can also plug into the cruise (IIRC) harness. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif
