Could not start engine due to anti-lock

I just got done with engine fresh rebuilt, new clutch, break lines everything. I got all the fluids in and tried to start the car but it wont pass the anti-lock which it would not allow the car to crank. I don't know if I have missed anything or anything needs to be reset. Please let me know if anyone has any inputs. Thank you very much.

Did you try jiggling the steering wheel? If the wheel is jammed against lock it can be hard to turn the key..

I was able to turn the key but it would not crank. The anti-lock kept flashing.

Anti-Lock as in ABS, anti-lock brakes? That shouldn't make the car not start.


Did you double check all of the wiring and grounds?

New tune or old tune? Might be Immobilizer in the tune. I have no idea if a light flashes from that or not but the car won't start if it's incorrect and not disabled.

It'll still crank with the wrong immobilizer.

Once I tried to crank, the anti-lock just flashing ans wont allow to turn the motor. I changed out clutch too I don't know if I have to reset anything.

By the way, it would not allow me to depress the clutch pedal all the way just half way only so stiff. I don't know if that's normal.

If the clutch is only going half way down maybe your not engaging the clutch switch.

If the clutch switch hasn't been disable, you need to have the clutch fully depressed to start the car.


You should figure out why the pedal won't go to the floor, AND disable the switch...

Don't disable the switch and then try to start the car without first figuring out your clutch issue. I just thought to mention that.

After checked all the slave cylinder and bled the clutch again, still no luck. The clutch pedal won't depress all the way. I took out the slave cylinder again and tried to move the clutch folk I was able to move back and forth but the folk rest toward the passenger side. I checked the clutch from the tranny plug and I didn't see anything popped out though. I don't know if I have to redo the clutch again. Thanks.
