hi i have just converted my auto to a manual and i have a small problem:

when i turn the ignition on the lights come on (battery etc) then try and start and nothing happens! its similar to what used to happen when i tried to start it in drive so i plugged the auto shift lever back in and no effect! but if i put 12v to the solenoid on the starter motor it starts up?

any ideas?

cheers

Probably not enough charge in the battery to start the engine but enough to show lights etc.

Try jumping the battery from another car and see if it starts.
