Swapped clutch in 08 si. Now she wont start
Title pretty much describes it.. I consider myself to have moderate technical knowledge/skills but am nowhere near a wiz.. the job went relatively smoothly as it's pretty much taking everything apart and putting it back as you found it..... and upon reassembly I tried to be diligent as far as inspecting the pieces and making sure plugs etc. Went back where they should be.
When I turn the key the starter works as my serpentine belt is moving so the crank is turning. There is that "pre ignition shake" but I wouldn't even call it a sputter because it is so short lived/faint. My obd code reader shows zero faults. No funny dash lights. I double checked the trunk cable on the drivers side that feeds cam sensors and fuel injectors etc and all the plugs are in. Also checked the ground I disconnected by the drivers side motor mount as I think that is the only one I had to undo.
As far as troubleshooting goes I am not sure what to do next.. Hopefully the bois have some ideas 👁👁😁😁 thanks in advance

Re: Swapped clutch in 08 si. Now she wont start
So it finally turned over... no idea lol. I was looking into it and found several threads explaining the same issues I was experiencing during to the ECU is disconnected- Which I did just to give myself as much space as possible in the engine bay... Anyway I just turned the key and held it for a solid 8 seconds in risking my starter exploding😁 and FINALLY it caught and everything fired. Now she turns over fine just like the good ol days. I had the intake apart so no MAF connected but doubt that made the difference.
