I just finished an engine swap on a 1996 900 SE. I replaced the original engine with one from a 1999 9-3. The starter does not seem to be engaging. The solenoid clicks rapidly but no rotation. I jumped the hot wire to the solenoid but got the same result. Is it possible the 9-3 engine uses a different starter. From the on-line catalogs of some of the parts suppliers they seem to be different. Can anyone help or make a suggestion? Thanks in advance
