I'm working on a 98 E0 SVT and have been troubleshooting a starting issue. The fuel pump primes, but there is no crank to start the car. Pats light is not flashing. Pulled and tested the starter, it is worn, but engages and turns. Clutch pedal and switch appear to be working. Battery itself is newer, was drained flat and recharged.
This car previously had battery relocated to the trunk, which due to bad ground did cause the Pats light to blink. I am currently powering the car from the engine bay using mostly OEM wiring.
I have been able to now run and start the car by bypassing the starter solenoid wiring and hard trigger to the battery. The car does run, but idle is horrible. It has two bad O2 sensors so I suspect this is the idling issue. These how would not prevent the car from cranking.
I have checked fuses and swap testing a bulk of the ECC and Ignition relay in another SVT.
Sort of pulling the harness, does anyone have any ideas?
