Can't get car to start, HELP!!
The car will not start, did some wiring today let me know if you guys notice any problems.
Ok so I unplugged the PCM and located the rear o2 sensor wire and spliced into it to install a narrowband afr (Yes, I know its of no use). Well anyway, I took out the PCM, spliced in the new wire, and then installed the last wire which splices into the ignition system.
Everything SEEMS to be wired properly but obviously there is a problem because now the car will not start. I don't think its flooded because I tried the deflooding method and still nothing. I tried push starting and nothing.
All the lights will light up properly and everything will act normal except no start. There is no rapid clicking noise as if the battery was dead.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. What a great way to bring in the new year![Frown](https://www.rx8club.com/images/smilies/frown.gif)
thanks for any feedback.

Would a weak battery and broken battery post possibly be the problem?
Now that I notice it, the battery post is barely hanging on.
But also with that, would all the inside lights fail to still light up due to the battery being weak?
