Well well well, it's just a roller coaster of fun over here. So tonight, I go to f-around with the starting issue with the car. Tonight I could hear the key making some sort of connection with the starter, so I thought hey maybe it's wiring. I was right (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif) . I See a wire loose on the starter, so I pull all the connections clean them up, and replace them in what I believed to be the proper places. I go to hit the key and to my happiness I find the car starts, but wait what's that extra noise? It sounds like the starter is still engaged! AHAHAHA so I pull the battery cables and it shuts off. I put them back on every thing is peachey. Hit it again, same run around. Hummm. Played with the wires, nope seem to be in the right places. Argh, so I throw in the towl for tonight, and turn to you guys (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) . What do you think? This is really bizzar if you ask me.
Eric Oh on the flip side, I think if I can fix this and find the dam timing light, it's gona be a driver (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) |

I had this happen a few years ago. It turned out to be the ignition switch. When I jiggled the key, the starter would disengage.
Before I replaced the ignition switch, though, I killed my starter when I couldn't hear it over the stereo one day. I drove off with it engaged, and got about 100m when the starter seized up and locked the flywheel. I thought I'd seized the engine! Check the starter AND the switch. |
