Okay so my wrench called last night. Car was all finished & he went to fire it up. Turns over fine but no start. This is what it was doing before the fire. Also off & on it has plagued me since I got the car. I've replaced the ignition with multiple times. I added a push button for the starter to take that off the switch. Seemed like there was to much power going through it which I thought was from the starter. Obviously it is not.
One thing is almost without fail as soon as I put in a new switch & use it I get smoke from it every time. It would be fine right after the brief smoke so I didnt worry to much about it. What else is feeding the ignition switch that may be pushing to much power through it? What do you guys recommend doing here? Cutting out the switch completely? Do you think the problem lies somewhere besides the switch? |
