Cheers all!
Following the procedure for setting valves using the ramps. https://www.pelicanparts.com/techarticles/9...7GYJ5aJcmZXoVme It's up, the driver's wheel is off, plugs are out, e-brake is off, and I can't get the driver's wheel to turn. I've tried 1st and 3rd gear. Neutral it all rotates freely. WTF am I missing? |

I have been looking for a remote starter switch with about a 12 foot lead. They all seem to be 5 ft leads.
Our starters are not accessible from the top engine bay. So connected to the solenoid, it has to route under the car to the drivers side and long enough to be able to stand up and see the dizzy position. 5 ft long is not sufficient |

I use yellow. And you run it up towards the battery. Then you touch it to the positive terminal and the motor turns over. Now everyone on the planet is closer to stealing my car. |
