I have done a lot of work and had the car running fine for serveral but now I have an electrical problem that I cannot seem to find.
Symptoms: Starter will turn a few degrees but will not turn over the engine when I release the key the starter will turn over a few more degrees as though I still have the key in the start position. What I checked:

I cannot believe that the ground strap was the problem. I replaced it two years ago.
I removed the strap, checked the resistance at 0.1 ohm, cleaned up the strap (it did not need much cleaning) replaced the nuts and washers with stainless, chased the threads on the chassis stud, the car started right up... Thank you all for the quick replies, I was getting really frustrated, all I wanted to do about 3 weeks ago was dial in the timing with my new digital timing light and it turn into a likely unnecessary starter rebuild and tearing in to my interior showing me the minor rust I need to repair. Have a happy fathers day all. |
