I just put the car back together, engine and transmission were out of the car. (Car is a 99 GT)
Everything is back in and the car won't start. I checked the starter, it was bad (When they tested it, it turned and smoked all over the damn place), so I replaced it, but it didn't even turn over when it was in the car. Anyway, installed the new starter and still the same issue. The battery is new too and giving about 11.9 volts at rest. It won't turn over and I don't think I even hear the gas pump.
About the only thing I can think of is that when I connected the gear changer to the transmission, I had to push and pull on it to get the bracket installed. Is there a possibility that the car just doesn't think it's in Park? and therefore isn't starting. how can I check that?
Thanks!
