i have put a 2.0 seh into my corsa, i need the car by tomorrow morning,
ive wired it up colour for colour but im left with these wires :


Car loom
Small
red/blue
blue

BIG
Red ( live )


the engine loom i have left :
small

brown/black
blue/black
red/white
green/black

Small - thickness of wire
Big - size of wire

when i go to turn the car over nothing happens, no starter motor kicks in it doesnt even click.
its not flat battery so must be wiring.

i have joined everything colour to colour black/black ect
i used the original corsa charging loom is there anything else i need to do /?
cheers

The starter needs a thick perm red and a wire to trigger it (on a Nova this is black/red I think but no idea about a Corsa).

This should go to 12v when you turn the key into the cranking position.

i have this connected, on a 13mm nut onto the starter and the wire runs into the charging loom which is connected to inside the car i pressume.

Test it for 12v when you turn the key then? Maybe it's duff?

ok so i ran a jump lead from the starter and it cranks, which is good but have no spark, anyone any ideas on what i should do with the wires or where they go, im getting no spark from the coil, is there something else i need to wire in ?
