    So I just finished doing a full top engine rebuild and everything is back together, but i put the key in the ignition to crank it and it wont start up at all. It wont crank or even turn over. All the electronics in the car work: radio, lights, HID, I cant find any that dont work. But there is no turn over. I tried to jump the battery but it wouldnt even make an attempt to turn over, there was no change. It appears the battery is fine but I have no idea where the issue lies.
    I remember seeing something like this before on the forum and there was some easy stupid fix. I would welcome the feeling of stupidity right now if it means my GTP is going to start working.
    Please help me!

    sounds like you missed a ground somewhere.

    i would start by rechecking all the wiring first, it is probably either a ground or maybe your forgot to hook your ICM back up

    any chance you unhooked the starter wires?, if you left one of them off it wouldn't start.
