i just dropped a new 3.3 in my tmaxx and istalled my old ez start on the motor. it woudnt do anything so i went and bought new gears for the ezstart and a new motor and harness but still no crank and on they igniter the light for the motor doesn't come on but the glow plug light does. so idk if i am just overlooking something or what. so any help would be awesome!
 
Pull the plug and see if it is stuck at top dead center. Turn the flywheel by hand and try again.
 
If the light doesn't come on you're not getting power to the starter motor. Make sure the connections are right and the plug pins are snug.
 
I had a problem on my wand, one of the pins pushed in and wasn't connecting. In my case it was the blue glow plug wire but I'm sure it could happen to any wire.
 
What if you put the one way bearing on the back of the engine on backwards? Wouldn't that cause the ez start not to be able to turn engine over? Just figured it would. I've never tested the theory though.
 
if the light doesn't come on that normally meant that the wand is in safety mode so that it wont fry the motor, it should re set when you release the button tho, your want could also be fryed try charging the battery and if that doesn't work get a new wand and see what happens
good luck

Yes it its on backwards it will free spin and not turn over the motor.
