I did an engine swap into my 99 regal gs with the motor out of a 06 pontiac grand prix gt. My issue is that after i got the engine in and went to start it it just clicked i checked voltage tapped on it and charged the battery but it has the starter off of the 99 regal. my question is if there is a differnce in starter motors or not if so does any one have a part number for me. I could relay use any help i can get on this on the internet isnt telling me much
 


the starter off either should work for you. If you are only getting a click. Ensure that you have all three grounds hooked up at the lower front trans bolt/stud and that the battery cable plus..uh one or two power wires are hooked up at the starter.

With all of that good, the only other issues/problems could be corroded battery cables or weak battery.

If you get a click..you can get a vrooom
 
I found the issue wire un hooked rookie mistake on my part I had it tucked out of the way too well but I gave my l32 scrap yard motor life tonight so all is well I have lots of pics thinking about doing a right up
 
There are never too many write ups.

A pro leaves stuff out because he takes certain things for granted.
A newbie details all the steps and shows some stuff as pain points, then the pro's mention the easy way to deal with the issue. Overall you get a great writeup
 
I got it turned over cranked it a few times my batt died i got it charging while im at work i will go home and make sure i can crank it and get my oil pressure up any issues i should expect like the pump leaked down my oil so i need to re prime i put a quart on the valves and filled the oil filter got plugs out and icm unhooked fuel pump relays out as well anything i should look for??? this is a salvage motor that has sat for a year so im just curious
